thin as death
the dark brown weasel slides
like smoke through nights are still. he glides
beneath the chicken house. bird life
above him sleeps in feathers as he creeps
among the stones, small nose testing every board
for opening, a hole small as an eye, a fallen knot,
a crack where time has broken through
his sharp teeth chatter
again and again he qests the darkness
below the sleeping birds. a mouse freezes
small mouth caught by silence in the wod
his life quick, he slips into his hole
thin as death, the dark brown weasel slides
like smoke. he needles worry wood.
he night is long
above him a bird blood beats

lol yeha its a long poem

Here is some help:
Assonance: "glides" and "like" right by each other with long "i" sound, "opening" and "hole" close by each other with long "o" sound, "small" and "fallen" have "ah" sound, close to each other
"his" "quick" "slips" "into" "his" have the short "i" sound, close to each other
Alliteration "dark" "death" - repeated d
"slides" "smoke" "still" - repeated s
"bird" "blood" - repeated b
Personification - saying the weasel's "sharp teeth chatter" as if he were a person who was shivering and having teeth chattering
