Nonsense Riddle
A whale on the beach,
A figure of speech,
A trouser seat snagged on a fence.        
A bird in the hand,
A castle of sand,     
A riddle that doesn't make sense...

Figure of Speech
Have a great birthday, Brother Sam, 
Figure of speech finds the writer; 
The kind's as gentle as a lamb, 
Anger turns sheep into tiger.

When one is down and out
Do not give up on life,
The bible says
‘And it came to pass’
Never did it say
It came to stay!

To Read and Appreciate Poetry
Poetry a figurative sense is one in which words or expressions acquire meanings that depend on their context of use. The literal sense is used to give words the objective meaning they have...
Poetry therefore exists when it exists
figure of speech... metaphor, metonymy etc. SO POETRY IS NOT WRITTEN TO AGREE OR NOT,IS to READ, understand, APPRECIATE... READ, READ a lot OF POETRY !...

Love Story Pt 3 ( Only 98 More To Go )
Why her of all people? Why'd I have to fall in love with her?
I'm losing my mind and it's not a figure of speech.
Tell me the truth, no tell me the lie do you love me too?
I'm under a different kind of pressure 'cause it looks like I'm falling deeper with you.
Was there a slip-up in life when I saw you two?
I hope you can understand that I'm just being me when I say, "I love you."...

Cucumber Pie
Are cucumbers cool
As a general rule?
How fresh is a daisy?
Are loons always crazy?

How snug is a bug
When he’s not in a rug?
How gentle are lambs
If not happy as clams?

How clever’s a fox
That’s as dumb as an ox?
How fit is a fiddle
Not clean as a whistle?

Are doornails most dead,
Or are dodos instead?
Is it drier than toast
To say “deaf as a post”?

Such puzzles befuddle and much mystify
Till suddenly you see they’re as easy as pie!...
