You are

You are...

The yellow topaz of the eyes of my tiger
The first footprint on the face of my moon
The gold discovered at the end of my rainbow
The well-worn clichés of my love song
The fastest download to crash my desktop
The shuffled playlist of my I-pod
The most used letters in any alphabet
The teaspoon of sugar stirred in my coffee
The frosted topping of moist carrot cake
The spicy filling inside my sandwich
The flag erected on the summit of Everest
The smooth caress of a morning sun
The hot sticky sauce over melting ice cream
The stroke of vintage slipping down my throat
The sweetness of donuts glistening on my lips.
But what you are and always will be
is nothing less than you.

    wow!!! i absolutely love the metaphors!! this is my kind of writing...it shows such talent!!
    The hot sticky sauce over melting ice cream
    The stroke of vintage slipping down my throat
    The sweetness of donuts glistening on my lips.
    But what you are and always will be
    is nothing less than you.

    Beautiful poem to say at least. I love the descriptive metaphors incorporated, the various lines with different tone after each and the final line is just beautiful, representing true love and acceptance and acknowledgement of that one significant person the composition is subjected to, a lovely dedication. Congratulations on the bronze trophie.

    Great use of metaphores! I like that, however if you're looking for a little advice, it would be top notch by making it rhyme. Good luck in the contest!

    nice

    I enjoyed reading this metaphoric list poems. Most of the images you have chosen to represent your relationship are poetic, evocative and sensual. These are my favourite ones:

    The first footprint on the face of my moon

    The flag erected on the summit of Everest

    The frosted topping of moist carrot cake

    The ending is a little bit too cute and "wrapped up" for my liking, but perhaps you have tailored it for this contest.

    Best wishes in the contest,
    myron.

    This is the sort of poem that every single girl in the world would die to have written about her from some one she loves; your muse is very, very lucky. It was cute but not cutesy, repetitive but not boring, and sweet but not corny. It's a beautiful piece, and was very enjoyable to read. Thank you for sharing this with us; it was beautifully written, and is a very sweet topic. Best of luck in your contests ^_^

    I am... an indefinite article.
    "erected"
    This word never ever ceased to make me chuckle.
    "But what you are and always will be
    is nothing less than you."
    o.o? Yeah, this statement is established in circular logic, which totally perplexes me. arrange the words in a circle without you at the end and but at the beginning and you will NEVER stop reading. lol
    But I liked the poem, and I lurv carrot cake.
    "the shuffled playlist of my ipod"
    This is so random, you must only have music you LOVE for this to apply. You're silly.
    but i know what you're trying to say.....

    so <3

    But what you are and always will be

    But it confused me a little,
    but all in all it was fantastic.

    A very careful set of relevant cliches that actually produce some meaning - great job.

    You might want to re-read the description to the end.
