I Like to Think in SimilesMature
I like to think in similes
like doctors think in scales,
and measuring, as dolphins sing
an opera to the whales.
I like to think in similes,
like paint upon a brush,
that changes color suddenly,
as faces when they blush.
I like to think in similes,
and I was simply shocked to see
that you like similes, similarly.
I must think in metaphors.
Doctors think in scales,
and measuring. Dolphins sing
an opera to the whales.
I must think in metaphors.
They're paint upon a brush.
They change their color suddenly;
Faces, when they blush.
I must think in metaphors.
Moreover, I was moved to see
That you are me, metaphorically.
I adore alliteration,
also quite alluring.
Although it isn't ALL I like,
it's always reassuring.
I adore alliteration
a letter at a time.
I like to think I love it, but
Let's not leap outa line.
I adore alliteration
So I was almost appalled to see
That you alliterate illiterately!
I write with repetition
Repeating what I write
It's right to write repetitive
repeated writings, right?
I write with repetition
Repeatedly rewriting
Rightly, though. It's written so
Write already, alrighty?
I write with repetition
So when you repeated that YOU write repetitively,
I repeated, "repetitively."
