A poem I wrote for English

The Library: An extended comparison

A library is like a coral reef
Some divers explore it thoroughly
Earnestly
Searching for hidden treasures among the rocks

Some visitors are more like bright little fish
Flitting happily among the coral for the sheer joy of it
Nipping little bits here
and there
When it strikes their fancy

Others drift aimlessly about
Indifferent of oblivious to the rich beauty around them
Doing nothing not deemed necessary for survival
Having no desire to go deeper than they have to

Which visitor are you?

You can come up with something just as good, sair. I know there's a creative spirit inside you. ;) I did read your story, you know.
