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
