Notes About The Poem

Entry for The Metaphor Cup Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Christopher Delegans   Date wrote 1st April 26

At The End of the Day

The metaphor is lazy now;
a mammoth, sloth-like grazing cow.
Where once it cut like razor wire;
hot spurting fat that hit the fire
that boring repetition quenched;
and all its potent power drenched.
Now the elephant in the room
the dreamy languorous exhume;
because to have the wit to think
could, conceivably, raise a stink.
