by luck of the draw we chose constellations. i picked, Cepheus the king.
guidelines for the poem:
elements of a ballad
exagerations (2)
metaphor (1)
5 pairs of end rhymes
extended metaphor (6 images)
a ballad is a songlike story, has a theme of love, tragedy or adventure, and uses simple language.
and all of the above are manditory.
i did plenty of research and i know the story of cepheus the king, andromeda his daughter, and cassiopeia the queen. but i am not very good with poetry and i definatly dont know how to put together and extended metaphor/ballad.
i really need help, please!
