What is an example of an apostrophe poem using at least 12 lines - 3 senses - 2 similes - 1 metaphor - consistent tone - alliteration - consonance - onomatopoeia - and repetition?

Answer 1

Here is one very well-known candidate (not copyrighted in the US):

by Walt Whitman

1

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;

The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart! 5

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

2

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;

Rise up-for you the flag is flung-for you the bugle trills; 10

For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-for you the shores a-crowding;

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head;

It is some dream that on the deck, 15

You've fallen cold and dead.

3

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;

The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;

From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; 20

Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!

But I, with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

The poem has 24 lines. Senses used are touch, hearing and sight. "Captain" and "father" are metaphors for Abraham Lincoln, "ship" is metaphor for the Nation, and the voyage is a metaphor for the Civil War. The tone is consistently sad and mournful throughout -- the poem is elegiac in tone, following Lincoln's assassination. There are many examples of alliteration. In the last stanza alone, there are a number of "f" sounds: father, feel, safe, fearful, fallen. "The flag is flung" and "ribbon'd wreaths" are additional examples of alliteration. In the second stanza, the words "mass," "arm," "some" and "dream" are examples of consonance. The phrase "heart! heart! heart!" is onomatopoeic, bringing to mind the sound of a beating heart. The repetition is obvious.

Unfortunately, there are no similes in the poem.

Answer 2

Sure, I can provide you with a sample apostrophe poem that meets all those criteria:

Oh, Moon, with your gentle glow, Guide me through the darkness below. Your light like a comforting embrace, Casting shadows across this silent space.

Your face, a glowing silver coin, Reflecting in the midnight ocean's loin. Whispers of the night's secrets you keep, As I drift on the waves, lost in sleep.

Your beams like a dancer's graceful twirl, Illuminating the vast, mysterious world. Moon, you're a silent witness, a guiding star, In your embrace, I forget who we are.

Silver queen, so cool and serene, Your presence felt, yet rarely seen. In your light, I find solace and peace, As the night's symphony begins to increase.

Moon, your glow a soothing melody, Through the darkness, you guide me gently. Oh, Moon, my eternal companion above, In your light, I find faith, hope, and love.
