RETAKE Poetry Figurative Language Review 1st

Select the answer that explains the use of the simile "Her eyes sparkled like diamonds" in this poem

Her eyes, they sparkle like diamonds
Her skin is as bright as the sun
But behind a perfect face,
This girl has come undone.

She keeps on running forward
She never looks behind
For fear of people seeing
She has lost her mind

There was once a time
When love colored her heart
But a coffin turned it gray
And guilt tore her apart

So now she wanders the streets
In heels and lips stained red
Trying to forget
Why her only love is dead

"I'm sorry," she whispers
As her tears fall to his grave
She kneels to the ground
As sadness hits like a wave

With a gasp of sorrow
She flees into the night
And deep within her soul
Darkness swallows the light

• She is always happy and diamonds are happy.

• Her eyes sparkled like a river which means she was always moving.

• Her eyes sparkled in happiness with the brilliance of something precious before her love died.

• Her eyes and face are perfect and should be recreated in a painting.
