Metaphor Poems
#metaphor
Metaphor poems, poetry using metaphors to create an image for the reader. You are not LIKE the sun, you ARE the sun! Metaphors are often used in poetry to explain emotions, feelings and relationships, which could not easily be described using ordinary language.
Ode to the Vase (A Satire and Irony)
An ode to the vase
Handywork emptiness
A vessel that is hollow
Adorned and bejeweled
Reflecting shiny outside
Gleaming and glimmering
Timely crafting
Many hearty details and etchings
Its earthen shape
Origins in dust
Worth less than water
Filling nothing
To hold up the surface
Weak and frail framework
Inside its spaced reinforcement
A self-sustaining void
Outside sitting placed down
Purposely on the vanity
Dimensions cube ...

if there
were
some way

to convince
you
