Metaphors of me
in wild rave to run worlds
while impatient i prepare
the soup of my poetry... my broth...

Premium Member Metaphors and Similes

A metaphor is a simile,
and a simile is like a metaphor,
but what I can't see easily,
is why we must know the difference for.

Like a dog digging bone, I hunt stories
Write orgies from words known
With syntax like old men's drone
And metaphors overblown

Premium Member Deceased Isles

when are metaphors
not applicable as proof
that they're existent

when a person dies
but remains here quite alive
mute indifference

My Write

No metaphors
Simply raw
Straightforward
Uppercut
Hit the jaw.
Scrape
Revealing marrow
Broken rules,
Many poems
Simple phrases
All my jewels.

satires to correct ill in society
metaphors to wake the drowsy
hyperbole to inquiry into justice
ironies to point the right way
imagism to ask for attention

Premium Member An Autumn Tale

Autumn with all the metaphors I can muster
The beauty of the season and it's golden luster
The raking of leaves
And cleaning of eaves
And my annual trip to the back adjuster

Metaphors In Life

Life is like a cup of coffee
Sometimes bitter
Add a little sugar
Taste differently. 

Life is like a hamburger
Both ends has cover
In between has fillings
For you to decide to eat.

Premium Member A poetry war

A competitive poet with ego galore
is always "one upping" to even some score.
They disguise their sarcasm in metaphors.
Most of the time I politely ignore as
no one needs a poetry war.

Masque De Poesie

Don’t ever bare your soul,
Conceal your psyche’s role
Behind your metaphors and metric lines.
And don’t undress your heart,
Disguise the tragic part
It plays inside your poetry’s designs.

Sandbars

Are you digging a hole
you will never crawl out of,
a prison self-made by your hand
The metaphors mix
as you lie there betwixt
—the bars sinking into the sand

Premium Member Dented Cans - a Love Story

driving away slow
   enchanted by metaphors…
        rice pelting our car
   white picket fences ahead
dented cans streaming behind

I Know

My flows unfold into, oh! So sweet poetry
Behold, my metaphors control thee
I’m every bit of a poetry teller’s fantasy.

Impressive and deep my words I know,
I have the incredibility to flow!

Premium Member Metaphors

Life's a die that has been cast,
a sometimes choppy ocean, vast.
Life's a circle, too, I'm told.
I gaze upon it as I grow old,
from a dusty wooden hull,
a circle, inscribed in a quadrilateral.

Perhaps Our Earth Is Burning

Scary creatures
of all kinds flee;
are they tossed away
as debris in a storm?
It must be a Bible 
predicted event...
perhaps our Earth
is burning!

To Love:

to love is to
be vulnerable;
no wonder i am
made of steel

to love is to 
open the
floodgates;
i am a desert
while you are a 
canal

too many metaphors;
not enough confessions

Jan weaves humor with her lines
  Jo's poems are so divine
  Laura's poems with love do shine
 Nette threads  poems with metaphors entwined
 Broken Wings brings poignancy to her poetic lines

I Will

I will use metaphors to write all poems. 
I will write about all their villiany and crimes.
I will ink all my words. 
I will send them out in herds. 
Let my thoughts be the birds. 
I will write about all those nerds.

Imprisoned Within

When their finest work gets
  left behind

The great are often
  forgotten

Remembered only in 
  metaphors of orphancy

Imprisoned within the brilliance
   —of a distant light

(Las Vegas Nevada: August, 2015)
