A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetic form. It consists of three unrhymed lines with specific syllable counts: five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second and five in the third. Haikus are often about nature and the seasons.
A sonnet is a 14-line poem with a set rhyme scheme and a particular syllable pattern called iambic pentameter. Different types of sonnets have different rhyme schemes. An English, or Shakespearean, sonnet usually follows the rhyme scheme of: ABABCDCDEFEFGG. The final two lines, a couplet, summarize the main idea of the poem.
According to the passage, one of the differences between haikus and sonnets is
the number of adjectives used in the poem
the number of lines in the poems
the type of writer who composes the poems
the type of verbs used in the poems

Which section of a poem is an example of personification?
Well, son, I’ll tell you:/ Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair./ It’s had tacks in it,/ And splinters,/ And boards torn up,/ And places with no carpet on the floors/ Bare
I’d love to take a poem to lunch/ or treat it to a wholesome brunch/ of fresh cut fruit and apple crunch.
I wandered lonely as a cloud/ That floats on high o'er vales and hills,/ When all at once I saw a crowd,/ A host, of golden daffodils;
The Moon’s a snowball. See the drifts/ Of white that cross the sphere./ The Moon’s a snowball, melted down/ A dozen times a year.

Which of the following excerpts includes onomatopoeia?
Listen my children and you shall hear/ Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere/ On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:/ Hardly a man is now alive
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
SHUSHES/ It hushes/ The loudness in the road./ It flitter-twitters,/ And laughs away from me.
