Metaphor Poems

The Flower is the Sun: 

By – Emma Sparks

The flower is the sun

So beautiful, bright, and small

Standing on the ground

Cascading up the wall

It spreads its glistening petals

Stuck from the morning dew

Drawing in the sunlight

Following its every move

The flower is the sun

Let its petals shine

So small and frail

I hope it’s always mine

My Life is a Game of Scrabble: 

By – Jessica Burke

The possibilities of words,

The chosen and the unchosen letters,

What I can make of my choices,

And how the ending plays out.

My life is a game of Scrabble,

The chances to take are endless,

But it always ends,

So, use your life’s risky, chancy, letters.

People are Stars: 

By – Jenny Le

People are stars

Shining bright all the time

Trying to get recognition

Brighter and brighter

Our egos get ahead of us

Using everything to outshine the others

But eventually it’s gone

Our glow fading away

Forming into a black hole of nothing

People are stars

My Life is Football: 

By – Aiden Cook

My life is football

As I walk on the field

I already know the deal is sealed

When I call that play

The guys already know what I’m going to say

But when we are in formation

We all get a sensation

We all want to hit

We all need to sit

And that’s my life of football

Life is an Elephant: 

By – Hannah Ballard

Life is an elephant

Really big and wondrous

All you have to do is explore

Life can open many doors

But if only you try, life

Can pull you down

Yet, at the same time it can

Pull you up

My Life is Softball: 

By – Gabby Thompson

My life is softball

Running on the field

Base by base

4 years of practice

Standing on the plate

Waiting for the ball

1^st base, 2^nd base, 3^rd base

Home.

My life is softball

And I just made a home run.

School Is a Dungeon: 

By – Maddie Anzaldi

School is a dungeon,

All children forced to go,

If you make 1 mistake,

The teachers will blow!

They’ll chain you up,

And send you to the master,

Where you’re then forced

To find your fate of disaster.

Baseball is my Life: 

By – Remington Froncek

Baseball is my life

My knees start to shake when I get up to pitch

I’m covered in sweat

If I mess up I give them a base

The player’s running

The umpire’s screaming

Coaches are giving signs

I wind up and all I hear is . . .

STRIKE!
