I have an assignment to write poem using simile, metaphor, and personification at least once.
This is the poem:
As I watch you decompose
_I hold your hand
With eyes as red as a rose
Until life has all but froze
_And no longer can I stand
I hold on to supplicate
_Yet this is my remand
Secretly I hate
_To hold your hand
I’m holding an illusion
_Holding a fantasy land
I found my lands contusion
And I found this collusion
_I can no longer withstand
These fingers tight and squeezing
_I know it’s time to disband
Futile clinging
_To your hand
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
