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.

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.
