The moon is
as bright as a spotlight,
like a face staring back.
Ghostly shadow of the past.

A wave is
as loud as when the cup cupboard falls of the wall,
like a shimmer dancing away.
Crashing killer.

A swan is
as graceful as a dancer,
like grace if it was alive.
A gliding beauty.

A frozen lake is
as cold as a nightmare’s sole,
like a crystal statue.
Winter’s mirror.

A pencil is
as sharp as a blade of ice,
like imagination in object form.
Story-inventor.

An apple is
as bright as a rainbow of red and green,
like a sweet globe.
A sweet dream.
