Raw

Metaphor is overrated.

I was going to write a poem
About a boat preparing for a battle at sea
As a metaphor for my own resolution
To work on writing something meaningful
And then I realized
F**k boats,
I'd rather just swim naked.
Why get all dressed up just to get wet?

Yep, that's the mood round here. Step up and I'll tear you to pieces.

[Persephone]

Ha you made me laugh there at the end - metaphor can be dreadfully annoying

[tekphobik]

Sexual double entendre makes me sound really clever.

I'll step up & bid..or call? (as in the game of poker, lol)

Yep, why? Enjoyed this one. ~ pat

I was far gone with drink when writing this and looking for a fight after reading a lot of bad poetry.

[tekphobik]

It's an ironic stab at myself, swapping a complex metaphor of a boat preparing for battle and then replacing it with the very simple metaphor of swimming naked.

Isn't this just a metephoric poem for the restlessness that seems to bleed through your verse? Will muse more over the last line. Pointless to describe more.
