Question

.....

Answer 1

Okay, so what are some of the emotions you feel when accomplishing a difficult feat?

Answer 2

Inky's asleep by the way.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Okay. Is this supposed to create a poem? Many of the things they ask are typically included in poetry, but I'd just like to confirm such.

Answer 5

Okay, that's what I thought.

So firstly, they ask you to use sound devices to show emotion.
Sound devices create rhythm through patterns of either the same sounds or strategically placed stressed syllables.

For example:

Crawl, tall, and fall use the same sound to create rhythm.

Answer 6

You could do something like this:
I stand small beneath the mountain as it crawls ever tall,
I greet the high feat that I must someday defeat.

Answer 7

See how I used the "all" sound in the first line to create rhythm, then an "eat" sound in the second?

Answer 8

Right. Use adjectives to create an image.
The forest was engulfed within a thick mist, darkened by storm clouds and decaying trees.

Answer 9

(That doesn't relate to your poem, but it's an example of imagery.)

Answer 10

Figurative language can be shown through devices such as similes and metaphors.

Similes compare alike things using "like" or "as." Example: "The flower was soft like a bunny's tail."
Metaphors compare alike things without using "like" or "as," instead, use some form of "is." Example: "The man is a snake." (meaning he's evil and sly like a snake)

Answer 11

So maybe your feat could be compared to figuratively with a mountain (like I used in the above examples).
Climbing a tall mountain.
Or overcoming some huge obstacle.

Answer 12

That's a sound device because it uses rhythm to create a pattern in sound.

Answer 13

It's a bit hard to explain, so I'll link you to a site that explains it all pretty well:

Answer 14

They're basically the same. They go hand-in-hand.
Sound uses rhythm, rhythm uses stressed syllables to create patterns in sound.

Answer 15

They're both supposed to rhyme.
It's perfectly okay to ask questions, that's what this site is for haha. :)

Answer 16

Yes.

Answer 17

You can if you'd like. It's your poem haha. Just go with what you think will work best and be easiest for you.

Answer 18

That depends on the line.
If it uses Iamb, Trochee, Spondee, Dactyl, or Anapest.

Answer 19

I'd recommend trochee or dactyl, yeah.

Answer 20

You can use the same device for each line.

So, something like this:
I CLImbed up HIgh toward the MOUNtain top.
(Caps for stressed syllables.) (This would be in Trochee.)

Answer 21

Right.
They don't rhyme.

Answer 22

Well, let's see where they're stressed:
"I fElt a grEAT sense of EUphorIA and prIDE."
It doesn't really have a specific type of meter.
"I was FIlled with HAPPYness and DElight."
-Trochee

Answer 23

It looks good, yes.

Answer 24

Alright, do you have any ideas (sorry for any late replies by the way)?

Answer 25

Hmm.
Let me see what you have so far for your poem so that I can determine whether that's fitting or not. From the way I see it now, it doesn't really fit with the theme, but perhaps if I see it with the rest of the poem, it could make more sense.

Answer 26

How about something like this?

1.) I stand small beneath the mountain as it crawls ever tall,
2.) I greet the high feat that I must someday defeat.

3.) As I climb up high toward the mountain's peak,
4.) I become filled with relief and delight.

5.) The mountain is my victory,
6.) Nature is the key to success.
