There's a Metaphor Awaits You

Sharpen those swords
        of cerebral wit

      Thrust deep for just the right word
        Great writing's never blurred

     There's a metaphor awaits you
        the only one that'll ever do

     To probe and pierce the minds
        with whom you ~ connections find

You speak the truth, this must refer from youth to the old remember ' to sharpen those swords of cerebral wit' Like this one a lot, well said Gershon. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

The metaphors await. Ah, so. I find mine most often behind the minute hand at 3A.M. Grumble as I may, I acquiesce and keep a notebook and pen under the bed or there'll be no more sleep tonight! Lizzy

Good for you, Lizzy. I have the same problem and solution. Keep the notepad near and write stuff down at night... But do I ever implement this?! ... lol.

Metaphors and I are passing strangers. I don’t do metaphors because I missed that boat, so thanks for shining a light on the subject. Like the write, Gershon. Terry
