Wanna help me on my poetry project? :)

[Predator33]

Just wondering if any of you extremely KIND folks know about any poems with figures of speech ( similies, alliteration, hyperbole, metaphors etc. ) Submit them here (this is what happens when you leave things to the last minute ) Help!?!?!?!?!?

[sm8000]

You want us to give you poems?

As in, you want us to do your homework for you?

Not likely.

Hope you're not planning on majoring in English, because deadlines are critical for writers.... I have three 1-page Faulkner essays, ten Shakespeare questions plus a 20-line memorization, and a short story to write, all due this week. That's a normal week.

Plus, in my other classes, an research paper on a Gregorian chant (my thesis is that the author composed it with political motives), another on women in Greek tragedy plays, and one on the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ."

Moral? Procrastination is bad!

Only if you tell us what fixed your call of duty game.

I saw a worm upon the floor,

a wriggling on it's belly,

I didn't like the look of it,

so I squashed it with me welly.

and if you can write as good as this fellow, I'll tell you who wrote it.LOL.

Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say,
That ninety lives have been taken away,
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

'Twas about seven o'clock at night,
And the wind it blew with all its might,
And the rain came pouring down,
And the dark clouds seem'd to frown,
And the Demon of the air seem'd to say-
"I'll blow down the Bridge of Tay."

When the train left Edinburgh,
The passengers' hearts were light, and felt no sorrow,
But Boreas blew a terrific gale,
Which made their hearts for to quail,
And many of the passengers with fear did say-
"I hope God will send us safe across the Bridge of Tay."

But when the train came near to Wormit Bay,
Boreas he did loud and angry bray,
And shook the central girders of the Bridge of Tay,
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

So the train sped on with all its might,
And Bonnie Dundee soon hove in sight,
And the passengers' hearts felt light,
Thinking they would enjoy themselves on the New Year,
With their friends at home they lov'd most dear,
And wish them all a happy New Year.

So the train mov'd slowly along the Bridge of Tay,
Until it was about midway,
Then the central girders with a crash gave way,
And down went the train and passengers into the Tay!
The Storm Fiend did loudly bray,
Because ninety lives had been taken away,
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

As soon as the catastrophe came to be known
The alarm from mouth to mouth was blown,
And the cry rang out all o'er the town,
Good Heavens! The Tay Bridge is blown down,
And a passenger train from Edinburgh,
Which fill'd all the peoples hearts with sorrow,
And made them for to turn pale,
Because none of the passengers were sav'd to tell the tale,
How the disaster happen'd on the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.

It must have been an awful sight,
To witness in the dusky moonlight,
While the Storm Fiend did laugh, and angry did bray,
Along the Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
Oh! ill-fated Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
I must now conclude my lay,
By telling the world fearlessly, without the least dismay,
That your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses,
At least many sensible man confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed.
