Metaphor Poem

What is Fear?
A Metaphor Poem

Fear is a moon
Reflecting other ideas
Yet often overpowering
In the broad, dark sky of emotions.

Fear is a star
Shooting by when you don’t want it
Other times, a wish come true
And a conscience’s best tool.

Fear is a hair elastic
Rubber in form
It keeps things together, but
When overused, causes things to fall apart
And the dam of tears to break.

Fear is a penguin
Making constant trips
From strong, right in the heart
To distant, as it waddles far away,
To return when the time is right.
