Metaphor

Metaphor: It is a way to describe one thing in terms of another.


A Candle


Lost in darkness of that day

I saw a distant candle

Being that I saw a way

I requested her handle.



I must have toiled half the way

To connect from such a length

Upon extending her my say

She bent over with sheer strength.



My wick absorbed her purity

I no longer realized that dark

When asked for my seniority

I just showed this glaring spark.

Significance: Metaphor can be challenging for the readers sometime but it makes the poem more creative and  it also makes the readers to ask themselves.
