'Picture Puzzle Piece' by Shel Silverstein?

I'll post the Poem:



Picture Puzzle Piece



By Shel Silvertein



One picture puzzle piece



Lyin' on the sidewalk,



One picture puzzle piece



Soakin' in the rain.



It might be a button of blue



On the coat of the woman



Who lived in a shoe.



It might be a magical bean,



Or a fold in the red



Velvet robe of a queen.



It might be the one little bite



Of the apple her stepmother



Gave to Snow White.



It might be the veil of a bride



Or a bottle with some evil genie inside.



It might be a small tuft of hair



On the big bouncy belly



Of Bobo the Bear.



It might be a bit of the cloak



Of the Witch of the West



As she melted to smoke.



It might be a shadowy trace



Of a tear that runs down an angel's face.



Nothing has more possibilities



Than one old wet picture puzzle piece.



I need to know if it has any of these types of poem in it.



Metaphor, Simile, Alliteration, Assonance or Personification.



Thanks :]

I will help you get started on your homework:



metaphor: a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity



simile: a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds (usually formed with `like' or `as')



alliteration: The repetition of the same sound, usually of a consonant, at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other or at short intervals. Example: The repetition of f and g in fields ever fresh, groves ever green



assonance: the repetition of similar vowel sounds within a line or succeeding lines of verse. Example: the short i and e sounds in Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra: "then is it sin/ To rush into the secret house of death/ Ere death dare come to us?" Autobiography--An author's own life history or memoir. Example: The Education of Henry Adams. ...



Personification: a person who represents an abstract quality; "she is the personification of optimism"



representing an abstract quality or idea as a person or creature



the act of attributing human characteristics to abstract ideas etc

It has everything except a assonance
