I notice that the rain poem has rhyme and onomatopoeia.
My list poem for cows is this:
Cows
Cows come in beautiful colors
they can be ivory as paper,
ebony like the night sky,
be the color of beige,
or even be the pattern
of cloud and midnight

Poetic Techniques: simile, metaphor

My list poem is:

Cows live on farms
cows live in barns
cows live on ranches

its pretty short though i couldnt think of any other places they live :P my poem has end rhyme (SORT of) and repitition. Mary O'Neill's poem has onomatopoeia.
