Poem questions

1. A simile makes a comparison using like or as while a metaphor makes a comparison not using like or as. A metaphor can also be either direct or indirect.
2. A direct metaphor comes out and says this is what I am comparing while an indirect metaphor doesn't flat out say what is being compared to what.
3. A simple simile/metaphor just states what is being compared while a complex simile/metaphor goes more in depth to the comparison
4. A A B B A
5. A B A B C D C D E F E F G G
6. Onomatopoeia is words that are sounds
7. Personification is giving human qualities to something that is not human
8. 
     1. She was as fat as an elephant
         and she was only an infant
         her momma tried so hard
         to make her daughter less of a lard
       it worked so well she was as tiny as an ant.

      2. Sitting round the fire
          she was the look of desire
         grabbing her hand he led her upstairs
         he noticed something beneath her hairs
         turned out his pretty girl was nothing but a clothes lined wire.

       3. Sitting in the open field
           the apple she did peeled
           her eyes they did bore into the apple
           for the apple it did roar then fixed itself with a lapel
          and a sort it did wield

       4. He ran into his house
          and the small mouse
         it did make a tremendous squeak
         then the boy gave the mouse a big water douse
