I need to write a new stanza (riddle) for the poem below.?

Question

Caxton's are mechanical birds with many wings

and some are treasured for their markings--

they cause the eyes to melt

or the body to shriek without pain.

I have never seen one fly, but

sometimes they perch on the hand.

That is a book.

Mist is when the sky is tired of flight

and rests its soft machine on the ground:

then the world is dim and bookish

like engravings under tissue paper.

This is fog.

Rain is when the earth is television.

It has the properites of making colours darker.

Model T is a room with the lock inside--

a key is turned to free the world

for movement, so quick there is a film

to watch for anything missed.

This is Cars.

But time is tied to the wrist

or kept in a box, ticking with impatience.

This is Clock.

In homes, a haunted apparatus sleeps,

that snores when you pick it up.

If the ghost cries, they carry it

to their lips and soothe it to sleep

with sounds. Amd yet, they wake it up

deliberately, by tickling with a finger.

This is a Phone.

Only the young are allowed to suffer

openly. Adults go to a punishment room

with water but nothing to eat.

They lock the door and suffer the noises

alone. No one is exempt

and everyone's pain has a different smell.

This is the Bathroom.

At night, when all the colours die,

they hide in pairs

and read about themselves--

in colour, with their eyelids shut.

This is Dreams.

Please help me out!!!!!

Answer 1

Interesting, so this is supposed to be Earth from an alien's eyes or something?  I have a few rough ideas that might help; very interesting question!

-A cage that they willingly go into,

Where they hide from the outside world;

They often discriminate; sometimes keeping their four legged

slaves outside while they relax on soft boxes within.  

This is a house.-

-Most barbaric are their vicious attacks

They tend to focus on flat enemies;

They pick up a sharp stick without branches

and stab the white creatures without mercy;

Their victims are left with black and blue wounds

that do not fade even after days of healing.

This is writing (on a sheet of paper).-

Hope these help, good luck! :)
