similes are like stumbling blocks,

Of delicious fresh air like a child reading at first

stirring stark sensations once hid

Meaning gets crushed,

A triangle scandal forced him to excile
givingup painting meanwhile...

Literal
That's not my elephant!
It's spaghetti on a spoon!
Ella held back tears.
2nd graders can be so cruel,
just like the bill of rights!...

Capitalization
When you write using capitalization 
You don’t give us consideration 
It reads like you yell 
They could hear you in hell 
It’s a literal abomination...

Premium Member If It Is Dark
Is poetry literal?  If it is dark,
does the protagonist become me?
Did Poe really hide bodies in the wall?
Probably not! It is telltale, is it not?

Premium Member Woe of the Water Heater
In life you learn the true valuables,
Hot water is gold when the heater goes,
All my cash I'd give out
To have steam from the spout
Taking a literal cold shower blows!

Premium Member Something I Can Touch
I don't always get your literal direction ~ though worth reflection

your margins may be quite narrow ~ but you always shoot a straight arrow

searching for something tangible to feel ~ may not lead to a reveal

Premium Member A Liberal
A liberal
Is moderately progressive
Believes in giving generously
Broadening the mind in a general way.
A liberal is not too strict and not too literal
Is tolerant and open-minded
Favors good reforms
Loves Liberty....

Do Gain Our Trust
Do Gain Our Trust

To do are many things that we must,
When trying to gain another's trust;
If a quitter,
Will be bitter;
Likely end up with literal, total disgust.

Interred
Literal is not,

the fake climb is aunt,

and a stake in the attrition not an alimony as you can see clearly in me...I do not assuage an empire-

I follow in the most economical exigencies,

as one is up, another is down my friend....

Prose
A metrical escape valve,
  letters in the maelstrom

Lightning on the horizon,
  second child of the Gods

Sacrificial waterfall,
  its current overflowing

A literal dilation
 —of the verbal supreme

One whisper...

The forest floor trembles

A path of literal 
mayhem

Untethered to mankind

Strangely eschewing
Frogs, snakes and lizards

"Long Live The Queen"
Their 
Only 
Anthem!

Eternity 
Their
Reward

I
Fall
In
