Metaphors by Sylvia Plath

This poem is very different, which makes it exciting. The first line is her definition of a metaphor and then I am assuming the rest of the lines are supposed to be examples of metaphors. I like how the poem is short and to point because it is staying in the nine syllable pattern. I feel like Plath provided her obscure examples with description and multiple colors to show how diverse and expansive the world of metaphors is.

  1. We read this in Creative Writing. It's a weird poem, don't you think? It also shows that she is slightly depressed and unhappy with her appearance.
