elements of poetry of HE HAD SUCH QUIET EYES

we go through the poem first.
HE HAD SUCH QUIET EYES

He had such quiet eyes
She did not realise
They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest ice
To her, those quiet eyes
Were breathing desolate sighs
Imploring her to be nice
And to render him paradise

If only she'd been wise
And had listened to the advice
Never to compromise 
With pleasure-seeking guys
She'd be free from "the hows and whys"

Now here's a bit of advice
Be sure that nice really means nice
Then you'll never be losing at dice
Though you may lose your heart once or twice


alright, here we go. The elements of poetry of this poem.


1) THEMES -the betrayal of love
                     -personal experience
                     -relationship that are meaningful

2) TONE -reflective
                -sad
                -happy
                -sympathetic

3) SYMBOL -quiet eyes = calmness
                      -dice = life-gamble
                      -thinnest ice = danger

4) STYLE -simple and easy to understand

5) RHYTHM -six to nine syllables for each line

6) RHYME - a, a, a, a, a, a........

7) PERSONIFICATION -"to her, those quiet eyes were breathing desolate sighs"

8) METAPHOR -they were two pools of lies

9) ALLITERATION -the sound of "h" = "he had such quiet eyes"
                                 -the sound of "l" = "they were two pools of  lies, layered with thinnest ice"


i guess, that's all from me . Thank You :)
