So my class and I were given a set of poetic devices we were assigned to use in a poem. The devices were: Metaphor, personification, alliteration, oxymoron, simile, abstract noun, onomatopoeia, assonance, proper noun, and imagery. Here is the poem I stuffed those devices into.
Little red wagon
By the name of Mighty
Begins the trek from summit to sea.
Wheels turn tenitively
Gears squeak uneasily
Inching her way to the edge of the cliff.
Like a meek snail, taking its time
One wheel
Two wheels
And here we go.
Over the brink
Goodbye to the brim
Racing down the hill with no turning back.
Free fall for forever
Until a sudden smack!
Landings were never her strong point
Though she continues without hesitation
her pace quickens,
hurries, hasten.
Destination nearly there
Just
Within
Reach.
