Challenge 2 (27) / Earring


27. THAT THING
Spend some time with an object you feel connected to. Write a poem using the object to construct an extended metaphor. For more about extended metaphor:http://bit.ly/xSuQbw.

Precious Vevka's earring
The grey oxidised cloak
Hides more than a thing
A wire wrapped around
A wire that smothers
Another silver in a frown
A value so unique
A beauty so transitory
That you can easily skip
And finally the core
A pure stone, child of nature
No need to want any more

I hang from my life's ear
Astonising and complex
While being simple and clear
