Hallucination

The soul travels like a spinning speed train, ‘to and fro’ it moves like a pendulum bob, ‘Tick!,tick!!,tick!!!’ says the dangling watch For time waits and respects no one,I mean no one!. The hills speak to me in inverted form, I try to touch them but my hands fiddle the apexes ;Am I upside down or dreaming? Then one of them stares at me like a dragon. I shake and shake my head a million times, To find myself standing face to face a mirror, Reflection!,deflection!!,flash-backs of many years, Spin inside my head as I swim into oblivion… I look sternly at the strong light tearing me apart ;the Sun is here and its staring at me, Men in whites surround me with wry smiles, Where am I? on earth!,In the hospital..doing what?

Aro my friend, you only need mark 3 different devises - at the bottom of your verse put [simile* - a metaphor using like or as]line 1[onomatopoeia** - the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named]line 3[personification - the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form] line 5 -----then you can take away all the rest of the asterisks :) Light & Love
