#72 of Poetry

Assignment #1 of my Creative Writing Poetry class in college. It's 1 out of 8. It's an extended metaphor for people and their personalities.


A Snow Globe

Sometimes I envision the world as a snow globe

Full of snow globes

Each person is a little snow globe;

Each with their own problems

And their own personalities,

Little flakes that fly through the air.

Each person seems to ignore one another;

Each person is trapped in their own little world.

However, as a whole

Each of the little snow globes

Dance and flicker frolic together, in harmony

As little pieces of snow

Surrounded by a glass dome that brings their worlds

Together, for all to watch and enjoy.
