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.
Santa Plea
I see you, Santa
Do you see me?
Am I on your list?
Would you light my festive tree?
Might I get a Someday Christmas wish
Come true? (The wish for you…)
Santa, did you get my letter
Saying sorry for the trouble I have caused?
I’m trying to be much better.
Give me dirty coal, I don’t care
At least it shows that you’re still there
Santa, I still believe
But, Santa, do you see…?
Do you see me?
Am I on your list?
Would you light my festive tree?
Might I get a Someday Christmas wish
Come true? (The wish for you…)
Santa, did you get my letter
Saying sorry for the trouble I have caused?
I’m trying to be much better.
Give me dirty coal, I don’t care
At least it shows that you’re still there
Santa, I still believe
But, Santa, do you see…?

The Calling
The falling,
Like snakes sure,
In dust, hides.
The wilder,
Like bare grounds,
In planes, turns.
The shading,
Like dark chance,
In sides, fools.
The summon,
Like eyes wide,
In depth, voids.
The beckon,
Like stars vast,
In truth, burns.
The founding,
Like down to,
In rise, spins.
The transit
Like due night,
In maze, twists.
The reckon,
Like steps tilt,
In paths, walks.
The feeling, ...

Fiendishly
Fiendishly emulate scheming.
Freakily regulate feelings.
Speedily respirate breathing.
Leniency demonstrates, clearly.
Greasily generate greetings.
Eerily explicate speaking.
Meagerly vegetate meaning.
Decency derogates, ceasing.
Secretly estimate seeking.
Sneakily speculate query.
Sleazily segregate wreaking.
Thievery reprobate, seedy.
Weaselly dedicate dealing.
Eagerly elevate seizing.
Greedily replicate reaping.
Reasoning designates, stealing.
Evilly renovate rearing. ...

failed poems
i can
taste
the bitterness
of
failed poems
waking me
from
my dreams,
this day
bearing words,
bleeding
into
my soul,
i am
confused
and
these words
will surely
see me
buried.

Broken Hams and Other Such Things
Colloquial misinformation spreading throughout the network
My network
Your network
Slipping down to a sipping pace and casting off into yonder
I sit around all year in a calm setting of a precipitous aching cliff face
Write to me at Christmas time - were the words it wrote as its face slewed away
I have impeccable behaviour as a hoover falls downwards throughout space and time calling out my name in vacuous tones
Cold, so cold you have already won, I don’t know that one, or do I?

November Bloom
A last hurrah
As summer fades
Your sunny petals
Defy the grey
Of stormy rains
And frosty chill
That creeps each morning
O’er the hill
Those icy fingers
Browned & cracked your stems
Still life persists
Before to dust returns your green
These last November blooms
Unfurl their smiles
to be seen & returned…
Would YOU be
my November bloom?
As summer fades
Your sunny petals
Defy the grey
Of stormy rains

These last November blooms
Unfurl their smiles
to be seen & returned…
Would YOU be

The Heavenly Choir
Drowning out the noise
stellar symphonics vibrate
reverberating the sadness
Sleep little sensitivity
insecure cycles revolve around stress
and anxious rebellion stirs the toxic thoughts
Installations of reflex mutate
while the radio plays
The Earthly tune changes
emitting distress
the congregation gathers
The wolves wag their tongues
seeking to consume on the ether
So tiny hope flags down an angel flying solo
mischief nods and resumes her song
sounding bitterly off key
To everyone but her...

i have
lost my
verification,
my complete
thoughts,
misplaced
somewhere,
layered in
jars,
sealed up,
even typed
and labeled
right on
each one,
my mind
is such
a clutter,
i have
so many
things
i need
to get
in there,
out,
remove
the dust,
straighten
the shelves,
rearrange
it all,
organized.

Bluebirds
Twilight came and blew bluebirds into your laugh
your eyes came alive and I knew
your honesty could bend gentleness in its perch
Sacred truth smiles while I hold his hand
winding down from his throne
In the deeper knowledge
he plays with time
While it ticks, I quietly observe
the mastery in the moment crafted
Universal doubt clouds your features
and I wrestle with the darkness you can't see
Shadows of ghosts praying
gather to kneel
Angels of the apostles
wrapped in long robes of judgement
beseeching...

hypnotized
i have dove
under your
motionless
waves,
pastel blue,
green,
stiff,
hypnotized
by
the feel,
the shape
unfolding
on me,
i
strike out
like
intoxicated arms,
wide open
feet behind,
i move
forward,
deeper.
