Metaphorical Poem

April 24,2015

You might think I’m just
an athletic, nerdy, teenage boy
with dirty blonde hair
and hazel eyes
But I know I am more
way more than that
not a snake or shark
not a ladybug or a puffy cloud
A dog
a lazy, do-nothing dog
When I’m just sitting around
like a couch potato
or being an annoying pest
to those around me
When I disobey my elders
doing whatever just pleases me
I am a dog
just taking up space
and giving off unpleasant odors
to those around
But when I show my
loving and caring side
I display loyalty
to all those around
I become a man’s best friend
Whenever times may be rough
I give off love and affection
when it’s needed most
and can be discipline
to those superior
I’m constantly looking
to ease the pain of my peers
until my job of cheering up
is complete
then I return to
my playful, energetic self
The dirty blonde-haired, hazel-eyed boy
is a dog
a lazy, caring, zippy dog.
