Answer 1

Facing It
by c.safos


He set his face away
from the eclipse, his eyes seeking
their way to a place where the sun
does not see. In the distance,
the wheat waved and wilted under the wind
whose breath blew beyond the bare field.
The day found its bearings under
the chorus of cicadas chirping,
their tempo keeping time like a moving train.

He set his face away from all this
and beneath him, the rainwater from the storm drained
groaning into a gorge with a slight gurgle and sigh.
The fields fall fallow under the flood and freeze, and somehow he found her—
her hair dancing
like Medusa's split ends,
his feet cementing him
like a scarecrow wearing fearless birds.

Answer 4

I think its 2 because wilts means to not have control of something and become powerless and weak, plus that makes sense because the wheat is powerless against the wind.

Answer 5

it was c because Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sounds of words.

For example, in "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers," the first letter, P, is repeated many times.

In this case, the repeated sounds have a hard W sound. They are wheat, waved, wilted, and wind. By using the “W” sound, the audience gets a sense of a whirring sound (which reflects the noise the wind makes).
