Metaphor Poems


Acrostic Metaphor Poem Example

 

Darkness is a Nightmare

                           

Dangerous animals prowling in the dark,

Alarming faces crawling in the blackness,

Red evil eyes staring after sunset,                                                                                    

Kreepy creatures crawling in the blackness,

Noises coming from the shadows that scare the color from your face,

Echoes coming back to give you chills at night,

Spooky pictures looking at you after dusk,

Screaming and yelling with lots of fright.

Extended Metaphor Poem Example

 

Wrestle Mania Is Like Fireworks

 

Where you will lose your breath.

Ready to be amassed.

Entertaining on your eyes.

Start to watch the big “BOOM!”

The crowd goes wild for their favorite wrestler!

Legends will be made.

Ever, so hard to watch.

 

Memorable for those who lost their lives in the WWE.  

Always to amaze you.

Never easy to watch.

Icons and Legend’s will never be forgotten.

Always will make you jump out of your seat.

Two Voice Poem and Acrostic Metaphor Poem

 

Soccer is a Delectable Desert         or       Crispy Burnt Pancakes

                                                                                                                                

Silencing the crowd with one shot.

Overlapping teammates to open up the field.

Creating a sharp angle for a crisp pass.

Controlling the ball and setting up the cross.

End of the game penalty kicks and it’s your turn.

Racing towards the ball at full speed and beating your guy.

 

-voice of A. B.

 

 

Shooting the ball and completely missing.

Off sides and horrible fouls.

Colliding into your teammates falling into thick mud.

Carelessly scoring for the other team.

End result is losing by a huge amount.

Running for the ball and the other player beats you there.

 

-voice of C. C.

 


 

Family Metaphor Poem Example 1

 

My Family is an Automobile

 

My dad is the engine,

Hard working and never gives up.

 

My mom is the steering wheel,

Keeping everyone in the right direction.

 

My younger brother is the radio,

Amusing with a running sound track.

 

My cats are the comfortable heated seats of the automobile,

Cozy and forever warm.

 

I am the air-conditioning,

Adjusting to what is needed and keeping everybody cool.

 

-by I. B.

 

 


 

Family Metaphor Poem Example 2

 

My Family Is A Car

 

My dad is the engine,

Keeping everyone good and going

 

My mom is the steering wheel,

Leading my family and I down the right road

 

My sister is a mirror,

Always up to helping me out

 

My little brother is the radio,

Sometimes not coming through clearly, but other times planting smiles on faces

 

And I am the wheels,

Rolling through life on bumpy and smooth roads, always going

Family Metaphor Poem Example 3

 

My Family is a Yacht

 

My family is a yacht,

cruising through the waves.

 

My dad is the propeller,

pushing us quickly toward the finish.

 

My mom is the steering wheel,

silently controlling where we go.

 

My cousin is the fly bridge,

hovering high above the rest.

 

My dog is the dinghy,

always trailing closely  behind us.

 

My aunt is the burgee,

proudly representing where we’re from.

 

And I am the bow,

pointing us eagerly to our destination.
