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.
