Word Out

Metaphors are poetry's loaded guns I held the metaphor against her head and pulled The trigger Some time later she Felt the pain As cliche's spent shells Rolled off down the pavement I challenge you whoever you are Your 50 cliches to my single metaphor Heaven or hell Different places Or simply different points on the same continuim Word out at the coral ok?
