For Poetry Month 2014, I'm searching for metaphors and similes. Join me! Here's a bit more on this month's project.
April 17Here’s a poem I wrote in 2010.
I’ve just spent an hour rewriting it.
First I’ll show you the poem as I found it,
then I’ll show you how I have rewritten it so far.
December 14, 2010
My watch is a snake
winding around my wrist.
Still. Frozen. Waiting…it thinks I don’t know
it might strike
at any
moment.
April 16, 2014
A snake
winds around
my wrist.
It watches me.
It might strike
any second.
What metaphor struck you today? Â Look out!
