This is as the title says: an exercise, in the use of one prolonged metaphor from the first to the last line. Hope you like it :)

fringed rifts tear aside a curtain ragged with light stage is prepared soft murmurs grow into roars voice raises to a deafening scream that erupts and whips waters with thundering applause *** September 10, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

This is so rich in description, I love it. It is substantial delicate yet solid. You know where you are in this poem and can move forward taking in the whole gist without stopping to figure a bit out.
