I'm always searching for metaphors to describe a situation. I find it a most difficult task. to me this poem relates to that quest.
Day-174 “The Poet’s Fare”
Penning life differently
Is the poet’s fare
Selling metaphors
For his love affairs
Penning lines
That sing in harmony
Painting shadows
With a pen
Rafting rivers
That do not cry
Exploring mountains
That have no names
Molten lightening
On a desert plane
Thunder in the morning rain
Searching for gold
At rainbow’s end
Laughter in every line
Soldier looking for love
On red lit street
Dark and lonely is the night
Master of the Metaphor
There are yet many more
For the poet who pays the fare
