Raining Metaphors

Folder: 
Delicate

I was waiting for the inspiration

as if it were the calm before the storm,

waiting for it to rain down and spill

beautiful words upon the page

as though it were a release to a stagnant summers day.

It rained, it poured,

I was drenched in literary metaphors.

Words slipped across my skin 

as if they were next to kin.

I wanted every definition

to fullfill this literary submission,

pouring word after word;

taking turns as the next word years

to be something more

than summer's rain

pouring upon the floor.
