Question

Compose an eight stanza lyric poem. Remember, lyric poems emphasize musical

qualities. It may help to imagine that you are writing lyrics for a song- because-lyrics are lyric
poems.
Your poem must have eight, four-line stanzas. The second and fourth line of each stanza
(except the last stanza) must rhyme, but they do not have to rhyme with the other stanzas.
In your last stanza only, your second and fourth lines will rhyme. That is, you will finish
with a couplet.
Your poem must have four examples of figurative language (e.g. Metaphor, simile,
personification, etc.). Highlight figurative language with yellow.

Answer 1

In the golden morn, where dreams unfold,

A story written in whispers untold,

Where words take flight and melodies sway,

I'll sing a song to light your way.

Like a river's flow, it meanders wide,

Through hills of hope and valleys of pride,

With every note, my heart's desire,

To kindle flames, set souls afire.

Your laughter dances upon the breeze,

A symphony that puts my heart at ease,

A lark's sweet song, a summer's delight,

In your presence, darkness takes flight.

My love for you, an eternal flame,

Burning bright with passion's claim,

Like a rose in bloom, vibrant and rare,

In your embrace, I find solace and care.

The moon above, a radiant pearl,

Reflecting love, a celestial swirl,

With whispered promises, we embark,

Two souls entwined, destined to embark.

So let this song be our sweet refrain,

A serenade to soothe both joy and pain,

With music's embrace, we'll transcend,

Forever bound, as our love will ascend.

In harmony we'll dance, hand in hand,

As life's melodies weave a timeless band,

Together we'll walk this journey's length,

In love's embrace, we'll find our strength.
