Mia Chance Metaphor Poetry

 

She’s still, clear, plain

She’s got a million and one secrets

No liquids are the same

Bumble buzz

Buzz bumble

She’s a bundle of fuzz

She’s striped brightly like a dangerous game

Sprinting through the forest

Aware of the sounds

She’s a a brittle Deer near the forests ground

A mint humbug

She’s wrapped up in one seal

She’s a ball of sugar

Never to be revealed

She’s as dark as the noon sky

She’s scared, worried, nervous at the eye

Pull herself out of Sunday’s dawn

End of the of the week is boring she yawns

She hides her true face, body and mind

Behind the foggy mist, I relate too inside

Secret confidential, nobody knows

She’s a cellar, she’s secret as she goes

She’s worth 1p if that

She’s not worth anything

Money isn’t her craft

The sun shining making everyone happy

Overflowing bubbling out of the cup

End of a school week, all the work is done

Just like a letter box

Flying high through the blue sky

Crinkled up £5 note shoved to the bottom of a purse

You roast outside like a dinner in our oven

Sleeping on the end the wet green grass

Pulling the covers over your cold body ready to go to sleep

__________________________________________

An Autumn leaf floating down from the tree

A lumbering creature lies on her bed ready to feed

So many cubs fighting for their orange stripy mother

Waking up at 9am with warm covers over me

Such a messy head

Such a breezy cold blow wailing through the air

Tip-toe in the room, really quietly sneak one out

Put in your pocket

Sneak out

The thickest piece of gold you can afford and 100 pennies make me

Tick tock, tick tock it’s the clock

Soft on the inside, crunch on the outside, something small and fluffy

Hurry up can I have my dinner please

Flutter fly when you fly so high

Land on a buttercup blend in

Good night, sleep tight, sleep for dusk til dawn

I sit in the darkest hour

Hoping for the sun to blaze

Through the haze that is my life

Fizzy delight

Turned flat

Deepest purple

You can’t see the bruises in my heart

Whirlwind lifts the jigsaw pieces from my hands

The swirl around my head

Jumbled in the whirlpool

I have no control

Value eroded like a receipt

You can not read

I sit in the darkest hour

Hoping for the sun to blaze
