For You are a Metaphor Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

you are a gentle breeze
a cocktail with antifreeze
an approaching sneeze
or a winter storm
three standard deviations from the norm
four sheets to the wind
and I think your rook is pinned
are you a ghostly mist
or a clenched fist?
I know you are a metaphor
I don't know what for

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I don't what the metaphor is for either. But it sure is hilarious, David. Cheers, Gershon

haha, glad you enjoyed it Gershon! If I keep working on these metaphors, one day, I'll get them right.
