Figuratively

When my words rhyme Oh how I love the crime Such forgivable murder Of words changing order Tis not only sequence For you have to make sense Read between the lines 'Cause that's where the secret lies Measure not the length But comprehend the depth Sometimes brevity Outweighs vocabulary Compare by simile To show what it's like Or use metaphor simply As it directly imply If synecdoche takes part from whole Metonomy replaces it all It uses symbol For things compatible Words rumble and jumble As if to personify Like humans palpable Worth to exemplify Don't misinterpret irony Filled with incongruity Discern the ambiguity To reveal its mystery - 25th of November, 2017
