In his piece entitled, "Figuring Out Metaphors," John S. Searle, exploits how metaphors can sometimes be difficult to comprehend.Instead of saying exactly what one mean, authors and poets use metamorphic statements that have people wondering exactly what they are trying to say. Although metaphors might be hard for some and even myself to understand, I feel that it is a essential element that enhance the meaning of poetry. Think about it, if we just say what exactly what we mean, there wouldn't be any figurative language or imagery for one to grasp on and think about. "She is a beautiful flower blooming in the spring." Now doesn't this gives you an insight of imagery while it miraculously embellish poetry.
