Winning Poems - Competition no 33: Write a poem using rhymes with a given word? Remember Me by Spades Master I hope someone remembers me when I die Fighting with honor, sheer pride in my eyes I joined the Corps, to be all I can be I lay down my life, so that others live free I’m a simple man, just a regular guy For love of country, didn’t have to ask why I followed my calling, to protect and serve A peaceful nation, is what we deserve Just pin my medals, across my chest Please tell my mama, I did my best Don’t worry ‘bout me, there’s no need to cry I’m now one with God, there’s no goodbye Current poetry writing competition Competition no 35 - Write a poem from the viewpoint of an animal (#5596576) How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors
Posted by Jools on 19 Apr 2024 at 1:29PM How to Avoid Mixing Your Metaphors It’s not rocket surgery. First, get all your ducks on the same page. After all, you can’t make an omelette without breaking stride. Be sure to watch what you write with a fine-tuned comb. Check and re-check until the cows turn blue. It’s as easy as falling off a piece of cake. Don’t worry about opening up a whole hill of beans; you can always burn that bridge when you come to it, if you follow where I’m coming from. Concentrate! Keep your door closed and your enemies closer. Finally, don’t take the moral high horse: if the metaphor fits, walk a mile in it. Brian Bilston
