9th Grade Life Metaphor Poems

In 9th grade, one of our assignments was to create 2 life metaphor poems. I must admit, when it comes to poetry, I become quite inspired. Ha ha. I personally like the 1st one quite better. I always felt a little uncomfortable about the second.

Enjoy, and please comment!



1.

Life is a furious storm,

With its raging winds and clashing thunder,

Bringing misery and woe to all.

The storm scarcely ceasing, all people nearly freezing,

In their tracks of life, thinking all is lost.



Yet the storm comes to an end,

The eye is where the fury stops,

and at this moment people have hope

to accomplish their missions in life.



But soon after one has nearly achieved their ambitions,

the storm starts once again,

never ceasing, never ending,

until the very end of life.



2.

Life is a sunflower,

With its beautiful, radiant petals

gleaming in the sun=s rays.

Showing its beautiful petals,

and standing high and proud above the earth.



But at night, the flower is quiet and dull,

having no faith of why it should be living

on this beautiful earth.

All aspiration is lost, and the flower

does not bloom.



Until the morning,

when it has faith once again in its abilities.

Slowly, it spreads its grand pedals,

standing proud above the earth,

standing proud above the earth.
