Kent J. wrote this in an 11th grade advanced composition course at Lakeland High School...

"He feasted on her beauty like a Roman at an orgy: consuming all that he could at one time, vomiting, and then feasting again."

What a picture of love that makes, huh? I still have a copy of that entire composition. Kent was the king of bad metaphors and similes.

PS: Crv, thanks! I enjoyed this posting more than I can express.
