2. Rhyming is as easy as 1-2-3…
Your poem will include, at least, 8 rhyming lines with an appropriate syllable line count.
Examples:
The waves crashed against the shore. (7)
With a loud and threatening roar (7)
A dark and dreary blackened street (8)
The kitten crept on silent feet. (8)

3. Your poem MUST include:
1 metaphor
1 simile
1 personification
1 alliteration

4. simile
A comparison between two unlike things that have something in common is called a simile. A simile always uses the words like or as to make a comparison

The waves roll in like our homework.

5. Metaphor
A comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common. A metaphor uses a word or phrase in place of another, or states that one thing “is” another.
No use of “like” or “as”
Your daughter is absolutely an angel.
The way you swept me off my feet, you know you could have been a broom.

6. Alliteration
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words or syllables. (Often used in tongue-twisters.)
The whistling wind will wake Willie.
Did Greek gods go golfing?

7. Personification
Personification is giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects (things, colors, qualities, or ideas).
You must be ready when opportunity knocks.
Rays of sunlight danced across the water.

8. Pan By Lily The son of Hermes and a nymph is Pan He's mismatched socks, neither goat nor man As ugly as an ogre, by mom was spurned Rather than love him into a reed a nymph turned Pan perfected panic and pan-pipe playing He invented both, which goes without saying Pan is the music of shepherds, the wild, and flocks Nature embraces him while Ancient Greece mocks True, he's not handsome, as a goat-man But music soothes all, thanks to mighty Pan.

9. Poseidon By Luke
Mighty Poseidon, son of Kronos the Titan and god of the seas.  Few show their dislike; He's not easy to please.  His beautiful waves, gently lapping the shore,  Poseidon will always want so much more.  Though he owns the most perfect prized palace,  Those who beat him feel anger and malice.  His sea creatures are powerful warriors ready for battle.   Poseidon's wrath makes the waves crash and rattle.  His waves are like glorious horses;  Riding upon them as dominant forces.  Poseidon's trident is his symbol; He stirs the waters, quick and nimble.

10. Athena
By Cindy
 With her mighty spear, as fast as a snake, Athena's fierce cries, make bravest men shake. Amazing Athena is a spectacular sight, Surrounded by soldiers, oh how fiercely she fights! But off the field, she's an immortal computer, As helpful as one, and a superb tutor. To puzzled heroes, warriors and more, And gives a hand to those who are poor. Athena can tell right and wrong apart, She's not only wise, but the goddess of art.
She invented the sail, to tame wind forces,
That fought fiercely at boats, sending them off their courses Athena's a brave and wonderful goddess, Who always forgives, and is helpful and modest.
