Speaking of Figures

A simile is like a pair of glasses
set up on the kitchen windowsill.
A metaphor is Tabasco sauce
sprinkled on clam chowder.
This word
is a symbol for experience.
This line is not punny at all.
I just don't get allusions;
they are my Waterloo.

Personification sneak
into my writing every now and then.

In school I hated writing—

do you see the irony?
