Ruan Venter Period 8

A Poem of love.......

Your heart is like a piece of iron,
But i know you are always kind,
Your eyes are like a shining sun,
I am sorry i was so blind.

If i'm shy, i will start to hiccup
But it is fine, atleast i get to see you,
It is ok if you tell me to shut up,
I will always forgive you.

When you start to cry, it feels like i am going to die,
I will always try to take them away
If that is okay,
But i would never say goodbye.

When i look into your eyes it looks like you are lost
Like a man lost inside a big and dark forest,
That is why i want to be with you
Because i will always love you.

  1. I really like the similies used to describe everything. I also liked the rhyme scheme of this poem.
    An improvement could be a use of internal rhyme, because I didn't see one.

    2. The tone was very calm and upbeat.
    3. Interesting uses of diction were "In a big dar forest," "Like a piece of iron."
    4. A use of imagery was "Your eyes are like a shining sun."
    5. A use of alliteration might be "shining sun."
    6. I didn't see a use of internal rhyme.
    7. I also didn't see personification.
    8. A use of personification was "hiccup."

  4. similies/metaphor
    heart like iron, like a shining son, like you are lost, like a man in forest,
    I didnt understand your part about the man in the forest
    I was wondering who that man was
    I was wonering who your poem was about.
    It reminds me of love, and my ex girlfriend
