Symbolic Poem
Once again, I find myself with heaps of homework and no desire to actually do it. And once again, I find myself making a blog post to relieve my boredom. -__-
I need to get a life...or learn to motivate myself better.
Anyway, I thought I'd put up a poem I wrote in my Symbols class on Monday afternoon. I'm not generally a poet, in fact, I don't even like poetry, so this was a surprise to us all. For the exercise, we had to think of a person and then an animal or object that symbolises the way we see them. I won't say who I chose, but the animal I picked is the bull. The goal was to write about the person without actually writing about them. Instead, we had to use the symbol to show how we see that person. Make sense? Probably not. Never mind.
The Bull
The bull charges,
unapologetic and single-minded.
He is stubborn,
fierce and proud.
I stand firm against his anger,
but fear the pain he can inflict.
Yet I taunt,
jeer and tease.
I am merciless in my jabs.
He is merciless in his revenge.
...So what do you think? Any good?
