Pascal's Wager. It's too long to put here but if you don't know it, I highly recommend that you look it up.

I am the ocean.
Reaching for the horizon
Cradling the rising sun.

I am the intelligent dolphin.
Leaping above the crashing waves
Swimming through the obstacles called life.

I am the color blue.
Calming as the sea,
Electric as a bolt of lightning.

I am a piano.j
Grand and moving
Softly singing my lullaby to the crowd.

I am a ray of hope.
Rising from the depths of a broken sould
Stronger than any darkness.

This is a metaphor poem that we wrote in English class. We had to show how each item portrays something about ourselves.
