Ok I got my pen and paper ready, and you know I breath those things. Can't wait to hear your ideas. "but for the lovers, their arms Round the griefs of the ages, Who pay no praise or wages Nor heed my craft or art" Dylan Thomas. |

Metaphor - A figure of speech in which one thing is spoken of as if it were another - "All the world's a stage" - The world isn't really a stage, but if Shakespeare says it is, I believe it... (Oh - btw - You can't use "as" or "like" in your comparison - That would make it a "simile"...)..  [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 06-30-2000).] |

All this talk about metaphors has WHET MY APPETITE and PEAKED MY CURIOSITY! It should be as EASY AS PIE to write a poem AS GOOD AS GOLD, RIFE WITH CORRUTION and LOADED TO THE HILT with metaphors! (I could be wrong of course!)LOL Debbie |

A simile is as easy as pie - A metaphor is a piece of cake!!! |

"All the world's a stage", excellent metaphor. I love that image. I also posted a metaphor challenge in poetry challenge forum, I hope you don't mind me highlighting this. the reason is I have only two responses so far, and one of them is mine so it does not count. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |
