I have an assignment to write poem using simile, metaphor, and personification at least once.
This is the poem:
[FONT="]As I watch you decompose[/FONT]
[FONT="] _I hold your hand[/FONT]
[FONT="]With eyes as red as a rose[/FONT]
[FONT="]Until life has all but froze[/FONT]
[FONT="] _And no longer can I stand[/FONT]
[FONT="]I hold on to supplicate[/FONT]
[FONT="] _Yet this is my remand[/FONT]
[FONT="]Secretly I hate[/FONT]
[FONT="] _To hold your hand[/FONT]
[FONT="]I’m holding an illusion[/FONT]
[FONT="] _Holding a fantasy land[/FONT]
[FONT="]I found my lands contusion[/FONT]
[FONT="]And I found this collusion[/FONT]
[FONT="] _I can no longer withstand[/FONT]
[FONT="]These fingers tight and squeezing[/FONT]
[FONT="] _I know it’s time to disband[/FONT]
[FONT="]Futile clinging[/FONT]
[FONT="] _To your hand[/FONT]
These are the lines that I think fit the requirement:
Simile: With eyes as red as a rose
Metaphor: Holding a fantasy land
Personification: I found my lands contusion
Are these truly simile, metaphor, and personification?
I don't think metaphor is right, but I can't figure out how to get one in there that goes along with the rhyme scheme
