I have compare to poems by Shakespeare that have either or those two terms, Can you help me out a little?

what two would be the best for a poem by Shakespeare?.

Answer 1

Imagery has a lot of adjectives. It creates a picture in your head.

Onomatopoeia is words like, "BAM!" or "Buzz" or words that make a sound.

Personification is talking about an object or something that's not-human, like, Death, and talking about it as if it were human.

Answer 3

Put first things first. A foot is a unit of measure Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, each da-dum is an iamb, one foot of an unstressed paired with a stressed beat, Shakespeare typically wrote in iambic pentameter, that is five iambs to the line, To be, or not to be, that is the question, note the da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum rhythm, although question by itself is the reverse, dum-da, called a spondee, a different kind of foot producing a different rhythm, there are yet other kinds of feet, but these two are the simplest to understand.  Meter is the measure of the piece taken as a whole, i.e. iambic pentameter.  Rhyme is matching sounds, produced by assonance or consonance, usually both in conjunction, assonance the vowels, consonance the consonants.  English with over 54 different vowel sounds is rhyme poor, languages with fewer and purer vowel sounds produce more rhymes.  A stanza is a unit of verse, the Star Spangled Banner has four stanzas.  In quatrain each stanza has four lines, usually paired or alternating couplets, lines with the same end rhyme, such as say,day; sign, dine.  Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound over and over, We whistled with our whiskey on Wednesday when we were wacky.  Personification is a particular type of imagery giving something the qualities of a person, I like my coffee hot and black, sweet and smooth like a Creole woman.  The simile I used compared coffee to a woman.  Put in the opposite direction the coffee becomes a metaphor for the woman. This should get you started.  You have to pick your own poems from Shakespeare.  I'd suggest one of his sonnets, and a song from one of his plays. Blank verse works by free association, without rhyme or meter.  Free verse is similar, but alternates, using different meters and rhymes.  Concrete poetry is in a fixed style with a clearly defined meter and rhyme scheme, such as a sonnet.  There are poetry websites where you can find fuller descriptions, and also learn how to write your own.  Steer clear of those that try to sell you something, and teach you nothing.

Answer 4

I would write a poem using either: Free Verse (which is just random poetry)

Simile: Using: "like" or "as" ex: The dogs fur coat was white LIKE snow.

Or a Rhyme: Two words sound alike. Ex: The cat sat on the mat.
