Metaphorical Language.

by Courageous Dreamer   Nov 10, 2009


Street lights create beacons
of rainbow light,the spectrum
of life,down the roads of
purpose commonly explored
by my imagination.

Inspired thoughts twist
around faith, unleashing poems
and sparkling imagery into
an atmosphere of scattered
metaphorical language.

Golden alliterations twinkle
as irony flutters throughout
stanzas proposing rhetorical
uncertainities and curiosity.

    There's a fluttery, mythical aura about this poem. The first stanza brought to mind the image of a city street transforming into an excellent canvas for colorful imagination.
    It's amusing how this line describes itself: "stanzas proposing rhetorical uncertainities and curiosity."
    Excellent writing. Congrats on 2nd in the contest.

    I admit this was hard for me to comprehend. But I believe those kind of poems should not be fully comprehended by me-the reader-but by you, the writer.
    I love your imagery, and actually I could-thank god-visualize the first stanza pretty clearly.

    Well done Temps :)
    Write on~

    "Street lights create beacons

    A very intriguing opening, my only suggestion would be to put a space after your comma's, it will look better. You made a solid point here and made the reader see things in different views.

    "Inspired thoughts twist
    around faith, unleashing poems
    and sparkling imagery into
    an atmosphere of scattered
    metaphorical language."

    Wonderful usage of adjectives and verbs here, I always found you were a master at that! That first line struck me and you had me reading so much more in between these lines.

    "Golden alliterations twinkle
    as irony flutters throughout
    stanzas proposing rhetorical
    uncertainities and curiosity."

    Beautiful ending, this was a different poem to me, but that is what I liked about it. The meaning was in there, you just had to dig and well, use your mind!

    Great job Temps, keep it up!

    Well, well ..it seems as though the fairies have been busy again, eh? Nothing wrong with this poem, Temps..in fact it is a gem, giving us an insight in how the true poet's mind works:)

    I think poems that leave us pondering over the meaning are truly wonderful, so I am all for metaphorical language, even if it is sometimes hard to grasp at the meaning of it.

    Well done and God bless,

    5/5 Ingrid
