Question:

How is this poem? I got in an argument about it.?

She was a metaphor
a thought
carefully crafted
in the minds of the willing.
In my life
I saught after her
paid a price far too extravagant to mention
and yet she still evades me.
She was a hope
a giggle released from the lips
of a sleeping child
during the storms of life
and so I wait for her
Imagine her
consecrate my flesh for her
until she is attained

She is love.

...except that "saught" should be "sought", it is by far one of the better poems (or what others here have tried to pass off as "poems") i have read not only here, but on a poetry site that I visit regularly...excellent flow and form, a complete expression of poetic thought...what was the argument about? If it was over the lack of rhyme and/or classic meter, tell them to bugger off! This is very good work.
