Poem – a poem entitled poem

Do you want semantic field
Some storm clouds or some daffodils?
Or how about some metaphors
A man is  a lion with his large paws?
Perhaps a few similies
Birds flapping like bees is sure to please
And well kept pace, or well kept time?

Myself I’d rather collect my thoughts
And write them down how I was taught
And paint the stars in my minds eye

Illiteration may help find pace
In this, my, poetic race
But do not analyse this, my smile
If you’re searching me
In you
Lies denial
