I have to find a poem or song that has literary devices like alliteration, similes, onomatopoeias and stuff like that in it. I don't need help explicating it, just finding a good one. If you can give me a good website that has a list of good poems, that would be nice too. :-D

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden

It's based off of a Samuel Taylor Coleridge epic poem, complete with recited passages in the song, so you can't go wrong there.

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!


This is a great little poem by Emily Dickenson that is chock ful of literary devices: metaphor, similes, alliteration and a lot of symbolism. (she talking about the beauty of books and how they can transport you into another world and do it without a lot of expense or effort)

That is beautiful CO. That is not something someone shares with just anyone. As the lines clearly state.
