Write a poem, focused on a topic of your choosing. You must use at least two of the figurative language techniques from this lesson. Your poem must be at least three stanzas with four lines per stanza (twelve lines in total), and can be free verse or have a rhyme scheme.

Answer 1

Here ya go :D

Step-by-step explanation:

She wore an angered expression paired with blue eyes sharp as frozen daggers.

Not worried about piercing you,

but rather how much you'd bleed.

Daggers that killed countless lives on a cold winter day.

Daggers that have been cleaned of blood by simply dipping them in the snow.

Making the knife as cold as the heart of the person who used it.

Daggers that killed ones it loved and cherished.

Daggers that show no mercy.

Daggers that stained the clean snow red that winter's evening.

Though the dagger wasn't kind, the winter day was.

Children played in the white flakes.

People built innocent snowmen.

Along with that they also built bonds and memories.

They built things they loved and not too soon after, lost.

Everyone played in the snow and built bonds no matter how different they were.

The winter day brought them together with to intention of taking them apart.

The winter loved them.

The winter thrived off of their happiness.

Joy was its source of life.

​

This is why her daggers are frozen.

She is the kindest soul to exist.

Yet she is not to be underestimated or you might just end up cut.

Answer 2

The happiness of waking up early.

When the day dawns

I hear the sun calling me

I get up quickly, taking his order

For another day is beginning.

It seems uncomfortable when I speak

But waking up early is awesome

For the day full of opportunities begins

and renew my hopes with dew.

Many do not admire my prowess

Waking up early every day

They prefer the company of the moon as nocturnal animals

And they sleep all day to make up for it.

I really like the company of the sun

Of heat and movement.

Everyone seems refreshed by the day

And that is my encouragement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem was written in white verse, with four stanzas and four verses each.

As was asked in the question above, two types of figurative language were used. One challenge is personification, which allowed the sun to have the capacity to call someone, which only humans can do. This can be seen on the line "I hear the sun calling me"

In addition, the metaphor was used to make a comparison between people who sleep late and nocturnal animals. This can be seen on the line "They prefer the company of the moon as nocturnal animals ".
