How do you write an extended metaphor poem comparing yourself and an object or concept?

Answer:

Don't use; like, is or as.

Here's mine:

I am a rollercoaster…

I am tan, polished, and sharp to the max.

The carts are my life,

Mom, dad, sister, friends, it's endless.

Sometimes, my carts like to scratch my paint.

I just keep them going and act like nothing was damaged.

Every hot and sunny day, longing for some release.

I do not like the jerks or the sharp turns,

They are the struggles in my ride.

I do like the smooth feeling of the air on my face,

That's the joy in my ride.

My life takes many twists and turns.

At every corner there is something new.

Sometimes it can be a down hill ride or a up hill ride, you never know what your approaching.

Learning that sometimes, it's good to take it slow on one path.

On another…maybe not so slow.

Watching new rollercoaster's being built by mine is a joy to watch.

There are so many boundaries that I must break and build.

Going at different speeds,

Some fast,

Some slow,

Enjoying what I can.

Never ending thrills of fun and anxiety.

Sometimes you may encounter dead ends or loops.

Some people like the thrill, some people hate the feeling.

However, I will always be in for a ride
