Metaphorical poetry what’s that?

Metaphorical poetry what’s that???

I must read you
A million times
To learn the nuances
Of metaphorical poetry….

Someone once asked me
Why I didn’t take shelter
Under the umbrella of metaphors

I queried,
Yes umbrella I know,
What’s a metaphor for?

They laughed at my stupendous folly
But the reverberating laughter
Tells me till today
Siren,
We poets can never throw 
Metaphors away
Without that poetry is lifeless
If you permit me
To say,
To say
To say

I am still LOVED anyway
