Like A Simile

Like a Simile

 by Aplabw

I am like a platypus,

Different parts sewn together.

 

I laugh like an asthmatic.

 

I’m as insecure as a groundhog,

Hiding in my hole underground.

 

I smile like Joker.

 

I’m as dependable as an echo.

 

I am like pancit,

A dish mixed with everything,

Good and bad together.

 

I’m as extroverted as an introvert.

 

I am like a stew,

Allowed to simmer and think,

Become better with time.

 

Just a little poem I wrote for my Creative Writing class. We had to write a poem using just similes. I decided to base the structure off of a ballade and mixing it up a little by adding a little more to it. Also it doesn’t rhyme. I kind of like this better than my Where I’m From poem. What do you guys think?
