Extended Metaphors My moods changed without warning~
no caution given to evacuate
the shore before emotional waves
crashed against the seawall.
I was consumed by these forces
though beyond my control
overflowing from the embankment~
no levee could hold back
the surge of sorrow
nor the aftermath of anguish.
Though my exterior was volatile,
my heart was peaceful,
remembering that the winds
would soon die down
and normality would be restored.

My moods changed without warning~
no caution given to evacuate
the shore before emotional waves
crashed against the seawall.
I was consumed by these forces
though beyond my control,
overflowing from the embankment~
no levee could hold back
the surge of sorrow
nor the aftermath of anguish.
Though my exterior was volatile,
my heart was peaceful,
remembering that the winds
would soon die down
and normalcy would be restored.
