metaphors get swallowed

in allegorical jaws

symbols crunched on the razor sharp 

figurative teeth

a real meal

as onlookers read and watch

and sing along

hoping none of the metaphors

were harmed during the making

of this poem.

Too many metaphors, that require a thesaurus , dull the poem for me

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Metaphors are delicious and unlike animals they never die, even after consumption.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I think they grow in the stomach of the poet.
