"If I Compared You to a Sweaty ..."

If I compared you to a sweaty sock
The one that helps to win a marathon
If I compared you to a dull, flat rock
The one to build my hopes and dreams upon

If I compared you to a little bug
The honey bee who makes my mornings sweet
If I compared you to a broken jug
The buried, priceless treasure 'neath my feet

If I compared you to a black rain cloud
The one that saves my life and ends a drought
If I compared you to a noise so loud
The sound of angels' trumpets soothing doubt

Because you live and breathe upon this Earth
I find more things around me that have worth.

Fantastic - a love poem to make you smile. Reminds me (as if my wife would let me forget) of the day I told her her eyes were the colour of a muddy duck pond. She knows now that I love duck ponds, but for some reason couldn't see the compliment at the time!

Love the off-beat imagery in here. It really makes this love poem unique.
