Metaphors

What is a metaphor?
What does it look like?
Does it have texture?
How does it smell?

What is a metaphor?
How do you extend it?
Can you take it in your hands,
And stretch it, like Silly Putty,
Molding and bending it to meet
Your needs?
What is a metaphor?
Is it our own brand of magic,
our own way of turning
one thing into another?
Is it an earth-bound sorcery
Enabling us to change a speck
into an island,
a man into a mountain,
a candle into a star?
