METAPHORS AND SIMILES
I wish I could dream up a meta-phor or five
To keep my poems more poetically alive
I will always be known as the poet who's hacking
If I continue to write poems metaphorically lacking
Similarly, since I've similes few
My poems can be tasteless as cheese-less fondue
Literature in meters, we refer to as verse
Lacking metaphors or similes, there's nothing much worse
Those figures of speech, though elusively distant
Should enter my head if my brain is persistent
I'll continue to strive to creatively write
Hoping metaphors and similes come into sight
