F*****g with Metaphors

Here is a link to my YouTube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwmDj1yF6LA

I cuddled up with
a metaphor that was
caught in the corner of
my room.
I dressed it in the
silk of kings, and fed
it from the fractured
trees of innocence.
Low-hanging fruit of
despair gets us
every time.

Oh my!! I love the way you write, I truly admire! I feel inspired and envied, but it's impossible for me to think like you. If you saw my reactions while reading your poems, you would think I was a one-man theater actor! but I'm just a fan, promise! What writing skills!

There’s a quiet elegance in this piece — the way despair and tenderness mingle, as if the poet is nurturing pain into beauty. The imagery of silk and broken trees feels ancient and intimate, like tending a wound that still glows. It reminds me of fleeting moments of balance between loss and luck, much like the fragile thrill found at https://pinco-kz-casino.com, where chaos briefly becomes art.

I just saved this in my Favorites library. It’s a lovely poem with great inventive use of language, “low hanging fruit of despair” indeed. This feels quite different from your usual work, not better, just different.

Very interesting work Thomas, and more miniaturist than is usual for you. I particularly like 'low-hanging fruit', the phrase has a nice ring to it. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I tell him everything about my situation and he asked for the company email address and the mobile number he promises to help me retrieve my funds if I will be able to cooperate and give him the vital information needed in less than 24 hours he was able to give me the necessary details about the company and how he will get my funds back without the company approval. Contact him: [e-mail] WhatsApp with (+1 (559) (508) (2403) I was very happy when he recovered all my funds and gave me 2% of the profit the company could have given me. so I promise to make him go viral for everyone to contact him in different aspects of hacking software program in your life he proves the best in his job CONTACT: [e-mail]
