Metaphoric Plot Twists

Oh poetry is easy? 
Tried now you’ve got anxiety; 
Credit us as artists;
With metaphoric plot twists
we can transform reality.

Metaphoric Man

I can eat like a pig,

    As well as, drink like a fish.

        I can piss like a racehorse,

            Or even bark like a dog-.

In my youth, I could run like the wind,

 

An Interior Mechanism

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe," ... Carl Sagan

Subtle crafts soundly, using euphemisms,
yet cluelessness dealt a sheltered abyss.
When one confront internal mechanisms,
whatchamacallit ... orphaned hit-or-miss.

A conundrum conspires an endowed soul,
behooves postmortem liken achievement.
Where'er wits helix baptism, buried hole,
an urchin crawlspace, be I foundling sent.

Newborn bid

A Metaphoric Blue

Amid the where’s and when’s and whys
The can’ts and won’ts and whiney sighs
Sit they with pencils as they paint
In words of metaphoric blue
In vain attempt to tightly grasp
The moment as it flashes past

Metaphoric Magnificence

The splendor of the blooming flower
on the lips of the unfurling bud
radiates glamour in the frame of charisma,
suspended on the wall.

I float in the air of fascination
to the magnetic meadow of Mona Lisa, 
as the sensuous force enthralling,
unveils time-transcending beauty of woman.

Nothing lies between Eve and you,
when you’re in my vision suffused 
with the radiance

Metaphoric Love

The stars are shining brighter 
And the wind is flowing free today
Oh my heart is racing faster
Nd my hairs are blown away
The stars, the breeze, the love 
It all feels the same ....

And now i come to think of you 
And my mind is still awake 
I see reds out of blue
This love won't ever

Metaphoric Optimisation

I adorn your flesh in trivial words and heat,
The quartz in each brushwork may deplete. 
Ashy blossoms under shattered feet,
In the dusk, inspired by optimization accrete. 

Deep-set violet eyes without a discreet,
Reaching clouds that cover your sight beat. 
Seeking to deprive the tempo of greet,
Illuminating this obstacle isn't defeat.

When your sight is adequate to compete, 
I shall

Ode To the Poeters Obsessiveness

Thoughts honed to a razor’s edge
The dictionary and thesaurus be my whetstones
Set atop my stalwart quadrupedal aide
Pulverized hemlocks be my stationary cohort
A hewn cedar be cylindrical partner in rhyme
A sooty viscous slurry be my workmate
The milky sap of the arborist companion be my reviser
Time; unlimited; to be committed to sonnetifcation
Mete by minute or by days…to

Strength In Unity

A string of pearls laden,
Stays bonded...
They are united,
Until broken...

The string be thy peace
And not a crease,
Be there as it might
Lead to a fight...

A deadly feud,
Many are sued,
Lives are gone...
Why now mourn ??

Do not let a scissor
Cut the string of peace
Do not let a trigger
Bring a crease....

Thy be the pearl....
Peace the string,
And the necklace laid out,
On

Literal Poetry Or Metaphoric Hmmm

Literal poetry is my go to gal
Metaphorical poetry is impossible for me.

Metaphors do not come naturally
They are not only difficult 
to understand but impossible
to write.

Literal poetry is concrete to me,
Metaphors are abstract.

The only abstracts I want
are in my artwork,
not in my poetry.

For they are not easy.
They are difficult
And I am all about easy.

A Haiku Series the Metaphoric Window

a gap in time
a window to the future
to late it’s closed

to late it’s closed
a window to the future
a gap in time

my heart… a window
beating rays of love shine out
beams of hope and peace

beams of hope and peace
beating rays of love shine out
my heart… a window

our hearts… our windows
our souls exposed… see the love
poems yet untold

Metaphoric Girl

Metaphoric Girl
By R.e. Taylor

You are the body of perfection
A face without a single flaw
The body of an ancient statue
The heart of a dragon
And the fierceness of a tiger
You also have something magical
Something that only you can have
You have the soul of God’s favorite angel
I know that you are just a person
But to me you are

Metaphoric Tissue Paper Cuts

Obscurity's trenchant
     sorrows blotting 
        tissue paper cuts,
tears aptly smeared
    in hidden fears of
        first dashed allusions,
darkly flippant metaphors
       sans passionate accolades 
     

Metaphoric Flower

To be honest
Winter stings
And it forever broke my heart, but to tell you the truth
I'm addicted to the pain
Addicted like a drug addict
Winter froze my heart
And took away the dandelions for its own pleasure
But it forgot one
Left it deep in the cave
Living with no sun
I met it the other day while writing a haiku
Last one
