Hannah Borke Poet Rhyme

Simile Whim

Once upon a whim
As I watched a tractor’s limb,
Poke, and under-tuck
the feed it hoisted up,
It seemed as though it goes
Akin to an elephant’s nose.

When later the machine
Departed from the scene
With scary points hung in
beneath the folded limb,
Its appearance was akin
to a giant scorpion.

Kai Michael Neumann March 29, 2018 at 2:14 AM Very funny. Hannah Borke March 29, 2018 at 7:08 AM Thanks for enjoying!

Andrea Dietrich October 26, 2017 at 8:12 PM AHA, I found one!!! I am very delighted by how intelligently you write. It's clear that you have good grammar and you really think how you are crafting your poetry. I really like that about you!! (also, this is something I would probably never think to write about, so you are unique!) Hannah Borke October 26, 2017 at 8:17 PM It's rare for a simile to come to mind. I don't have much to choose from

Lim'Rik Flats July 20, 2017 at 8:15 PM Now I'm afraid of my man-toys;-) Do you paint? Your unique way of seeing is fun and intriguing. Your expression of what you see is deelightful! Hannah Borke July 20, 2017 at 8:47 PM Depending on how often you'll see the digger, is how much I've altered your perception -- forever

Daniel Turner July 12, 2017 at 3:10 PM Perhaps you would like to read a poem I wrote entitled, "These Hands" or "The Lost Smile" those are both pretty light:) Hannah Borke July 12, 2017 at 3:28 PM Please let me know the dates, and I'll find them. I did a search, "These Hands", and others poems showed up.

Daniel Turner July 12, 2017 at 1:40 PM This is fun and most entertaining, Hannah. I love your imagination and your observations as well. Great job! Hannah Borke July 12, 2017 at 1:56 PM I'm still looking how to improve it, and I greatly appreciate the compliment. Which directs me to finding something 'light' on your site.
