Why do we do it always in the same way?...

For many years, poems have been the way which people have used to express themselves. Especially when people want to express love, but why love’s poems do it always in the same way?
In the case of “My Serenade” we can see clearly an example of the most common way to make a love poem. Comparison is a figure of speech that we always use to make a simple poem. It does that the poem be repetitive, and maybe it doesn’t allow to show all the feelings that the writer wanted to express. It doesn’t mean that comparison is a bad resource to make love poems, but why don’t we use another way to write our feelings? We are always saying “you are like…” or “your eyes are like…”, but love is a feeling that you can express in too many ways. Poems are an excellent way to do it, because, when you are in love, your head is full of thoughts which you can translate in a beautiful poem.

On the other hand, comparison is a useful tool to explain the unexplainable beauty that the lover sees in the loved person. In the next appointment we can see how useful comparison is:
“Your voice is like an ocean, where I never want to find the shore”. Is there something prettier than the ocean? Can a voice be prettier than the ocean? For the lover, it is.

Comparison always will be the best way to write a love poem, and the one that will show that there isn’t anything in the world more beautiful than the loved person. Nevertheless we don’t have to forget that there are more ways to express ourselves. Just close your eyes, and write it!
