Cool.

Just remember, simile is saying something is "like" something else. "Her teeth were white like the back of my granny's knees." That's a simile. And onomatopoeia's are words that describe sounds. "Buzz" and "hiss" are examples.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm uncertain of "irony" though. Memory's a bit rusty for that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But yes, internal rhyming sounds the best.
