similie

 ------------------------------------------------------------

simile

in my school days

no learning about similie

but  during college  course

where literature  was my chosen

 field  for the degree, some exposure

to simile and metaphor and  image;

yet to perfect , to have  a grip 

into these, embellishments 

for the learning, deep insight

into the field of poetry;

self taught with insightful 

learning was my  avocation.

Right from Shakespeare,

through the age of Milton,

Arnold, down to Victorian

and modern, poems captured

our moods and a must in class

to learn deep into more and more.

images and simile and metaphor

to explain and expand -

the question hour  everywhere-

whether vertical or horizonal lines,

i am yet to have a grip of these 

decorative, linguistic aids
