Can someone help me with a poem?
I NEED TO WRITE ONE ANNOYING HABITS ,THAT PEOPLE HAVE ,FOLLOWING THE MODE OF “SWEET LIKE A CROW” Please help 10 BIG pOINTS IT COULD HABITS ANYTHING PLEASE
Your voice sounds like a scorpion being pushed
through a glass tube
like someone has just trod on a peacock
like wind howling in a coconut
like a rusty bible, like someone pulling barbed wire
across a stone courtyard, like a pig drowning,
a vattacka being fried
a bone shaking hands
a frog singing at Carnegie Hall.
Like a crow swimming in milk,
like a nose being hit by a mango
like the crowd at the Royal-Thornian match,
a womb full of twins, a pariah dog
with a magpie in its mouth
like the midnight jet from Casablanca
like Air Pakistan curry,
a typewriter on fire, like a spirit in the gas
which cooks your dinner, like a hundred
pappadans being crunched, like someone
uselessly trying to light 3 Roses matches in a dark room,
the clicking sound of a reef when you put your head into the sea,
a dolphin reciting epic poetry to a sleepy audience,
the sound of a fan when someone throws brinjals at it,
like pineapples being sliced in the Pettah market
like betel juice hitting a butterfly in mid-air
like a whole village running naked onto the street
and tearing their sarongs, like an angry family
pushing a jeep out of the mud, like dirt on the needle,
like 8 sharks being carried on the back of a bicycle
like 3 old ladies locked in the lavatory
like the sound I heard when having an afternoon sleep
and someone walked through my room in ankle bracelets.

Sorry, what’s the question? Are asking for help with analyzing this poem or are you asking us to write one for you?
If it’s number 1 then it’s just a series of imaginative ways of being really annoyed.
If it’s number 2 then you should write your own poetry as it is ALWAYS obvious if you have copied someone else’s work. Besides, if it’s really good you may be asked to write some more and then you’re stuffed, aren’t you?
