Litany Imitation


You are the calm and
The storm

You are the apple
And the cup

However, you are not snow on branches
Or mold on Cheese

And you are certainly not mist from the waterfall
There is no way you are the mist from the waterfall

It is possible that you are the Sea
Maybe even the breeze

But you are not even close to being Sunny on the beach

And a quick look in the mirror will show that you are neither Knight
Nor Ladainian

It might interest you to know speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world
That I am the lightning in the storm cloud

I also happen to be the Hiker
And the trail

I am also the Moss
And the Ponderosa pine

But don’t worry, I’m not the Smith Tower
And the Space Needle

You are still the Smith Tower
And the Space Needle

You will always be the Calm
And the storm

Not to mention the Apple

And somehow the Cup

  1. Hi Dawn you are practicing allusion! I had to look up Smith Tower and Ladainian. A reader's understanding of those comparisons will only be as strong as their ability to connect with the building or football player alluded to. :)
