The independant clause mean the simple subject which says that you can read a part of a sentence that makes a lot of sense. So in this sentence "Since you are writing a poem, how will you use metaphors?"
The dependent clause is the one that makes no sense while being alone.
In this sentence the dependent clause is Since you are writing a poem.
