My Love ISN'T Like A Warm Summer Breeze.

I heard it said once in a romantic poem that the speaker's love was like a "Warm Summer Breeze". It's a very soothing line full of sensory stimulus and poetic imagery. However, if I were to describe my love it would not me like a warm summer breeze. In my opinion a warm summer breeze it an unwelcome thing. It's hot in the summer, who wants a warn breeze? Not I. Also, a breeze lasts but a few seconds if that, why would you compare your love to something so fleeting? I guess if sounds good because the individual words sound great. The word warm makes you feel warm when you say it so naturally it's a pleasant thought to think of something warm. The season of Summer is usually a favorite among most people because it's a fun season full of promise and relaxing. The word Breeze conjures up thoughts of refreshment and exhilaration that from a cool breeze in the summer time. So as you see individually the parts work, but the whole is not so great. That in itself is a TERRIBLE metaphor for your love of another person! Gee honey as individuals we're awesome like hot dogs but together we're uncomfortable and unwanted... How romantic.

How about instead, "My love is like a warm summer's promise that exhilarates you like a cool breeze wafting through the trees on a clear starry night." It may not be perfect but it sure gets the point across.
