Answer 1

My heart sunk like a rock into a fright,

I gasped when I saw the sight.

Down those mountains we were to ski,

I felt inside as if I should flee.

I built up the courage and flew down the hill,

I couldn't help but think that I was on my way to the kill.

The ice going down was like a mirror,

The views had never been clearer.

As I flew down the weathered ice,

My speed did nothing but maximize.

It was an endless day in the fridged cold

Down the icy hills we strolled.

Devices used:

Rhythm

Simili

Metaphore

Answer 2

I have some ice

And it´s very very nice

I will put it in my drink

And let it melt and sink

So then it´s ice cold

And its feels like shining gold

When I take a big sip

It feels gooooooooooooood
