Here is the prompt (for day fifteen) copied from Poetic Asides: For today’s prompt, write a metaphor poem. That is, write a poem
built around a metaphor. Remember: Metaphors actually take on another object
(like “I am a Tree”
or “I am a Rock“).
This is not to be confused with similes, which are like metaphors (for
instance, “I am like a tree” or “I am like a rock”), but not quite. Dig? If so,
then you are a shovel or spade or bulldozer. Now poem the heck out of metaphors
today.
Hold Me in Your Heart |
I Am a Mermaid
But I don’t live
in the sea.
I flower from May
to September
when I add
a sweet touch
of color
to your garden.
Those who've
cultivated me
call me
a forget-me-not.
I’m easy to grow,
reliable, too—
you can count on me
to bloom and add cheer
to your life
when you’re feeling blue.
