Two Examples of Idiom Poems I found

Cat Got Your Tongue By Adele Tolley Wilson

I was feeling shy when my uncle came.
"Has the cat got your tongue?" he said.
He must have meant, "Why aren't you talking?"
Because my tongue was still in my head.

By P.William

I was nuts about a scarlet woman
with a silvery tongue, but we were
just ships in the night.
So much for the green light,
now it’s raining cats and dogs
but it’s not the end of the world

My Poem

To some she is as cool as a cat

To some she is a toss up

To some she is a doozy

To some she is loose cannon

                                          To some she is water under the bridge      

To some she is a black horse

To some she is a blessing in disguise

To some she is a blue moon

To some she is like biting off more than you can chew

To me…well she’s just me

Kid Gloves By Lee Emmett

Just don’t get too close now
don’t want to damage anything, do we
look how sweet you are
with those pretty hands covered

Don’t need any trouble now
just keep your hands safely in pockets
out of harm’s way
there’s a good fellow

Day's Journey by Vivian Gilbert Zabel
The day dawns as a journey.One leaves the station on a train,
Rushing past other places
Without a pause or stop,
Watching faces blur as they pass,
No time to say goodbye.
On and on the train does speedUntil the line's end one sees,
Another sunset down
Without any lasting memories.

My Poem

The Flag and It’s Promise

by Me

Flying high

So majestic

United as a country

All men are equal

It’s just a joke

A broken promise

Where is the promise in the face of adversity

Its no where to be found

With discrimination around every corner

Most cower or enforce it

It’s just a joke

A broken promise

Two Examples of Simile Poems I found

Moon Poetess By EBI Robert

Hands flicker, the smokes hurries
And insignia like ice blows in appearance
So seated and commanding twisting joints.
Powers, so she use and sleep.

Cross like lights, like crowns.
And in moon, she exploit simile.
pair of simile, like smile.
married to a poet of the sun.

Seated in a throne, scrutinizing expected writer.o' poet your tones are failing
Your flood is quited.
Take not my gown for a clown.

In this moon there is peace.
And my ink is agreeable to a moon cave.

And the election has ended.
Yet you are the poet.

No truth is bad as a poetess been a poet.
Posted to bright stool.
and good stew.

A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
O My Luve’s like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O My Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only luve,
And fare thee well, awhile!
And I will come again, my luve
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile!

My Poem

While out in the midnight hour

The soft breezes caresses my face

Like a silk cloth

And hums a tune in my ear

While out in the midnight hour

My feet cut through the sand

Like scissors

Leaving only footsteps in their wake

While out in the midnight hour

The waves sound

Like a drum

Pounding against my thoughts

While out in the midnight hour

The moon lights my path

Like a lighthouse on a rocky shore

Letting me roam carefully but freely
