I'm a riddle in nine syllables, <br />An elephant, a ponderous house, <br />A melon strolling on two tendrils. <br />O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! <br />This loaf's big with its yeasty rising. <br />Money's new-minted in this fat purse. <br />I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf. <br />I've eaten a bag of green apples, <br />Boarded the train there's no getting off.<br /><br />Sylvia Plath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/metaphors/
