***I enjoy depth, darkness, emotion, imagery and strong metaphors. You will place higher if you write with these five things.***
Metaphor: a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.
example of a metaphorical poem I wrote:
"CRIMSON PAIN"
the blazing heat exhausted me
mid-autumn...
I never knew love's kindle could
extinguish into ash from sagacity's
death.
you entered my fragmented veins,
searching for a ruby bloodline
to remorse.
I have no stars left to count,
no scarlet lilies left to pick
and in my aching sympathies
I find apathetic desires.
mother nature brought her
introvenient shame,
withering all willows weeping.
abandoned leaves dive - - -
-unbearable crimson.
Good luck, be blessed and many thanks!!!
