Sometimes poetry should not be overdone metaphors or similes, and all too often a line packed with obscure words and strange meanings really means nothng at all. If you don't have anything deep or philosophical to get at, that is okay. But please, at least make it clear what you are getting at, so that if your only goal is to sound nice. People will know it.

You don't have more than a middle-schooler's familiarity with poetry, do you?
