Poetry

[richlevy]

'Do you like metaphors?', I asked her, waiting.
'Like a simile?', she smiled, sweetly, I thought.
'Like is for similes, as you should know'.
'As a metaphor, your question is a puzzle'.
Her brows knit, her eyes glowed a fair green.
'Poets like similes, politicians like metaphors.'
'Nonsense', I replied, 'Poets change reality more than politicians'
'A duck is like a duck', she said.
'A duck is a duck', I replied.
'Duck!' she cried, throwing the towel.
