Angels Don't Speak Metaphors

by Jaime   Sep 28, 2006


Living on a constant Monday
Some birds aren't meant to fly
Purple angels bring them up
Overrated hope will still die

Endless sunshine, silver lining
Knowing nothing of the rain
Instead of sympathy, it's all laughter
Might just keep the crazy sane

Not all seeds are fit to grow
If old tree's would try to understand
It doesn't have to be genetics
It could just be the restrictive land

There are always ugly ducklings
That won't sprout into a beautiful swan
Exceptions to all the perfect fairy tales
The ones to which hollow bodies cling on

If caterpillars had spider-like webs
There's no doubt they'd love to share
But the angels don't speak metaphors
So they have no reason to care

    First I would like to congradulate you on such a wonderful piece. Second I would like to say I don't understand why you have a 3.0 rating. I guess some people are not that opened mineded or they just rate low out of spite.

    From the title of this poem I was expecting a whole different story. Believe me when I say you really surprised me.

    This poem is truly beautiful. It has a wonderful flow, the rhyming is not forced, and the picture that you painted is extremely beautiful. Your Imagery here was just amazing. I couldn't find not one thing that I disliked about this poem.

    The metaphor's were brilliant and I actually was pulled into the poem from the beginning to the end of it also.

    I had a hard time choosing the winners, because everyone really worked hard and their poems were great also, but Arsalan's and yours really stuck out and spoke to me.

    I really loved the fourth stanza of this poem. It held a very deep meaning in it and I found it to be very beautiful.

    There are always ugly ducklings
    That won't sprout into a beautiful swan
    Exceptions to all the perfect fairy tales
    The ones to which hollow bodies cling on

    To me this stanza means that, there will always be a person that is more beautiful on the outside then the next. But it's the inside where we will find the true beauty. We cherish the outer beauty more then we do the inner, but it's the inner beauty that counts.

    Now I might be wrong about my interpretation, but I'm just telling you what picture you painted for me.

    I really enjoyed reading this magnificent piece. And I truly thank you for sharing your hard work with me.

    From this poem alone I can see that you are a very talented artist and that with hard work and dedication you can become one of the best.

    Keep up the extrodinary work hun. Because poems like this will keep readers like me coming back for more.

    Welcome to my favorites ! I am looking forward to seeing more beautiful work like this from you.

    5/5

    Love
