A Poem is a Metaphor

A poem is a metaphor,
A unique point of view.
Each poem that you write becomes
A metaphor of you.

The poem’s title is your name,
Its rhyme, the way you talk.
Its meter is your heartbeat.
Its rhythm is your walk.

A poem is a metaphor,
A masterpiece creation,
A symbol of your hopes and dreams--
And your imagination!

    @ Jim - He does have the gift of encouraging kids to write. In 1972, he encouraged this kid to write and she still enjoys doing so!
