I have a cold today. Probably because I was wrestling with the Beast yesterday
(see yesterday’s post).
What’s a metaphor for having a cold? Â Hmmm…
An invasion…my body’s been taken over by the enemy?
A wet, windy day…on the day I’d planned a picnic?
A smashed banana? Â That’s how I feel right now.
Or…can you spot the metaphor in the following rough draft
(which is also a mask poem and which includes personification)?
FLU
Day wakes up and stretches
her long, lean sunlit arms
Be gone! I close the curtains
for I’m glob of germs
and neither Day’s light laughter
nor her cloud-free charms
can change that I’m a tissue
all wadded up and gross
I’m full of yuck and—achoo!
I’m warning: don’t come close.
What’s the metaphor that defines YOUR day?
