For Poetry Month 2014, I'm searching for metaphors and similes. Join me! Here's a bit more on this month's project.
April 23POMEGRANATE SEEDS metaphor
I’ve been an instructor with the UCLA Extension Writers’ Program for over 15 years.
Every class is different. Â How best to describe my students?
~ a herd of deer?
~ a pack of wolves?
~ a litter of puppies?
Here’s a haiku I wrote after teaching the first class of a new quarter:
Twelve crisp, ruby sweet
pomegranate seeds: my new
delicious students
