I am,
an unpredictable experiment,
not easy to handle.
A handful of lemon,
or a stubborn rock.
A bull that acts when it wants to,
not easy to train.
A eagle that doesn't feed off crumbs,
but confiscates its food from its prey.
I'm a predator without its prey,
because I desire the impossible.
I'm a steel door that won't open.
A double-edged sword that penetrates hearts.
I am a storm in the mist of peace,
and a wave in a still stream.
I am what I am

Hi Elmo,
What a powerful image you communicate here. It gives the reader a clear idea of just how determined and strong-minded you are. I love the lines "a storm in the midst of peace/and a wave in a still stream" because it starts off with a big, violent image (storm) and then calms it down to something still powerful, but quieter (wave) for the ending. Nice writing!!

I really enjoyed reading your poem! I love the lines, "A handful of lemon/or a stubborn rock." What a great way to describe a strong-willed person!
You make a science teacher proud!
