SMSMP Poem

This was written for my Creative Writing Class. It's called an SMSMP Poem because we go simile, metaphor, simile, metaphor, personification. My teacher really liked it, so I thought I would post it.


I'm like an iPod full of songs,
each song a different emotion.
My happiness, my despair,
my anxiousness, my devotion.
I have different personalitites
all joining together to make me.
My exotic side, my shy side,
all like a tornado, wild and free.

I am a playlist of feelings,
all different yet making up the same.
A hard metal song
or a slow acoustic sway.
A preppy broadway song
or a heart wrenching country tune.
I am a bubblegum pop song
or an angry rock song sending you to your tomb.

I am like the different colors
and iPod can be.
Some nice and simple,
others bright and whacky.
Sunshine yellow
on a happy day,
dark dreery black
when all happiness seems to have gone away.

I am the solitude you feel
with your headphones in your ears.
In your own little world
away from all your peers.
I am the dancing in your room
where no one can see.
I am the bobbing of a head
on a bus through the city.

The roar of the headphones
the soft whisper of the button pad,
quiet and calm
or loud and mad.
Each factor of an iPod
comes together as one
and that one is me
filled with different traits, but still fun.
