Metaphors
I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
an elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.
-Sylvia Plath, from Poem in Your Pocket For Young Kids (Amulet)
