an emblem poem,with a crude picture of an everyday scene,underwhich is a motto- followed by the poem.which is to teach,rather like a parable.This example of mine was inspired by George Herbert's The Churche-Floore

Look there,do you see the wall of red brick each upon the other: leans with great care. One joined evenly next to the other bonded together in equality: Participating in their purposes combining ,each their strengths the load to share: Weathered with the storms of life on its face enduring through eternity: Note:My emblem was a red brick wall
