Here is another version, using metaphors<br />

instead of similes (remove the word like in<br />

the comparisons):<br />

My eyes are deep green ponds,<br />

still <strong>and</strong> reflective.<br />

My hair is a curtain,<br />

<strong>and</strong> I choose how much drama<br />

I want to reveal.<br />

My h<strong>and</strong>s clutch the robe <strong>and</strong> fan<br />

that are silk walls,<br />

protecting me from prying eyes.<br />

My ears are shells on the shore,<br />

capturing whispers in the wind<br />

<strong>and</strong> the song of the sea.
