extended metaphor poemUp

                                                                      My life is like a river

Sometimes flowing lightly and gently

Moving along with ease

My life is like a river

Sometimes rough and rapid

Longing for some release

Trying to calm the storm

Waiting for the sun to shine overhead

Looking for the rainbow in the sky

My life is like a river

I like the gentle bends

I like the smooth waters

They bring me peace and joy

I do not like the rocks and currents

They are struggles in my life

I enjoy the nice peaceful waters

My life is like a river

Having ups and downs

Twists and turns

Trying to smooth them out
