Metaphoric Moments
Words and images are metaphors with movement like living breathing water. Being in control of metaphors is like turning on a water tap . Feelings have a role to play in writing poetry .
For example "I feel so sad .
How can we describe sadness and what does sadness look like - Does sadness have a sound .
When we write about feelings and things we can't see, we want to create good pictures that people can see in their minds .Images, feeling metaphors are like living breathing water.
If you turn your water tap on flowing metaphors will pour out into poetry . Trust the poem you can see in your mind like living breathing water let it flow .
Feelings are a good device when using metaphors like anger, love, memory, silence, jealousy, wisdom, hope, loneliness .
What kind of pictures do these word portray in the mind ?".
Close your eyes and imagine how they feel .
Can you see your poetry begin to flow as you feel the emotion stir within you .
I See Poetry
By Paul McCann
Anger is a wild wind chained to my wrist .
Love's a landslide falling over a cliff .
Silence is a closed curtain round the room .
Memories are like seeds about to bloom .
Jealousy cuts friendships just like a knife .
Wisdom are mirrors reflecting through life .
Hope is a new light where the darkness fell .
Loneliness is a cave where hermits dwell .
