As I continue my poetry quest I know it’s not just about form, but substance. It’s about trying to explain the essence of things, using metaphors and similes. It’s about searching for word images that capture the difficult to explain.
Here is another work from Ripple Poetry which is about that quest for deeper meanings.
Next to work on extending the metaphors?
Art is like memories lost, then found
Memories can be a Pandora’s box.
Camera is like a dear friend sharing special moments.
A dear friend is the antidote to a depressing day.
Fake flower is like a make-up face.
Make-up face is a shield to protect.
Curtains are like eye lids that open and shut.
Eye lids are bridges between night and day.
Guitar is like a bird that wants to be heard.
Bird is a dreamer’s avenue to wings.
Poem is like a letter to a detective called reader.

Camera Girl, by June Perkins
Oh June, I like this poem a lot! Especially the line about Pandora’s box/memories–too true. But, I love it all, truly. You have such a kind and lovely face–the flowers in your hair are wonderful.
