Try to be more lucid in your writing. You 're hardly communicating!

OK
Let's face it - there is no such thing as a poem that is NOT a metaphor. But people keep asking about metaphor poems, what they are, and to give examples of metaphor poetry.

Let's start with the observation that some poems are one single metaphor all the way through, and others use a variety of different metaphors to describe one single thing.

Remember that all language, symbol and metaphor are seeking to describe a REALITY THAT EXISTS for real and outside any one single human being. If you try and reach through the words and the images the metaphor is calling up to the REALITY BEYOND those things, you can get the drift of the ESSENCE of what is being transmitted in a metaphor poem.
EVOKE THE ESSENCE of a concept is the foundation of memorable poetry.
Now that is not a conscious thing, something you can figure out in your head with a measuring stick; it something that you FEEL instead, quite literally. The rule is as follows. If something has an energetic reality behind it, it will create an IMPACT on your energy body and you can actually FEEL that impact as an emotion or sensation - a sensation of heat in your stomach, pressure in your head, tingling in your fingertips.
So we are not talking about imaginary emotions but real feelings that a human has in direct response to some thing that is in essence invisible, but must be there, or else it would not create this sensation.

Metaphor Poem by StarFields

Tranquility

Time slides
a gentle ocean
waves upon waves,
washing the shore,
loving the shore.


Can you see that ocean?
Can you feel the slow rhythm of the waves?
Can you sense the essence of tranquility?
Do you understand the concept of tranquility better now?
Do you feel more tranquil in having touched this?

Once you really understand that it isn't the words, but that the EVENT of the poem or message lies BEYOND the words, you will be able to make sense of metaphor in general and open up your world in a significant way.
From there, you can then begin to try and describe such things FOR WHICH THERE ARE NO WORDS, because they are events across time and space in your own way, using your own metaphors.
When you do that, you are considered to be "an artist".

good luck
