Answer:

The MOST accurate paraphrase of a metaphor in the poem ""On the  Death of Dr. Benjamin Franklin" is:

A. Dr. Franklin's life is that of a tree.

Explanation:

<u>The very beginning of the poem is the metaphor we need to answer this question. The speaker talks of how we should lament and mourn the death of a tree.</u> Be it because it was struck by lightning, be it because it was old, the death of a tree must be felt. <u>It took the tree time to grow old and glorious. Now that it is turning into dust, it deserves to be appreciated. The same goes for the death of Franklin, according to the speaker.</u> <u>Just like that glorious tree, the death of a glorious man must be mourned</u>. The speaker see Franklin as a unique man, above even kings, for kings can be replaced by Franklin cannot. <u>Just like that tree, losing Franklin means losing something special, that took time to develop, to grow and become all it could be.</u>

PLS Help can anyone write a poem it can be 2-4 sentences long pls help
sineoko [7]

For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes,

 Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,

Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies

 Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.

Search narrowly the lines!- they hold a treasure

 Divine- a talisman- an amulet

That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure-

 The words- the syllables! Do not forget

The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor

 And yet there is in this no Gordian knot

Which one might not undo without a sabre,

 If one could merely comprehend the plot.

Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering

 Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus

Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing

 Of poets, by poets- as the name is a poet's, too,

Its letters, although naturally lying

 Like the knight Pinto- Mendez Ferdinando-

Still form a synonym for Truth- Cease trying!

 You will not read the ridle, though you do the best you can do.
