For Poetry Month 2014, I'm searching for metaphors and similes. Join me! Here's a bit more on this month's project.
April 15Have you ever noticed that when you’re shopping for a couch, suddenly you see couch ads everywhere? It’s as if someone turned off your couch filter.
That’s what’s happening to me during this whirlwind metaphoraffair.
People are talking in metaphors! Â I just came from a meeting and I swear, within 15 minutes, four people used vivid metaphors and similes.
WOWEE! It felt as if I were riding class 5 rapids!
One woman, reflecting on how badly she was treated by family members, said that she thinks of them not as bad people but as if they were made of glass. Â She said we’re all broken…we splinter differently, and the pieces can be quite beautiful.
What’s your metaphor?
