The metaphor is the most powerful weapon at a poets fingertips Besides the pen it is what gives life and meaning to the words It is our fingerprint It is our double edged sword It gouges into meaning and extracts the bare minimum Then it coils around it like a serpent And squeezes the life from it onto our paper Behold! The magic of the pen
