Blog Post 3.2: Practice writing metaphor
Simile
As empty as words.
As weak as a tongue.
Gathered together like strands of hair.
As rough as an emery board.
Trembling like a needle.
Praying like a mantis.
Bouncing like pebble.
Smiling like an actress.
Metaphor
Heart of steel.
Mountains of ice which melt below your feet.
War is an abortion, taking the life of a son from the mother who bore him.
The ocean is a chisel which sculpted the seven continents.
The moon is the sun of the night, allowing for dim lighting in the night sky.
This house of disconnect.
My love is a nest.
Writing is history.
Poem
My love is a nest
Protecting those it holds dear.
As empty as words
Like broken promises that will never be fulfilled.
As weak as a tongue
Which in anger utter words that rain down like a waterfall.
This house of disconnect
In which empty words are exchanged.
