Never-Ending Poem Prompt

The Elusive Metaphor

A Poem

Image by Bruno/German on Pixabay

I met her for a cession She said I couldn’t spell Some therapists Don’t find life punny I say what the hell

My older life’s new mission Is to play with words Why not prosaic Serious or funny Wing it like a bird

The elusive metaphor Is waiting in the wings No simile Right on the money Mirth where is thy sting

I stumbled into poetry three months ago and have enjoyed falling over ever since.

Martin Rushton started his Never-Ending Poem three weeks ago:

I owe an apology to Tooth Truth Roopa Vikesh from India who tagged me in early July to join in and I didn’t.

Forgive me. I hereby tag you back.

Now Marie T Smith from Scotland has nagged me with this and I couldn’t resist:

She knows me well enough that it was doubtful I’d write a serious poem using her prompt “Metaphor”.

So, I didn’t.

Apart from those I’ve mentioned, I’m tagging Marilyn Flower, Simran Kankas, Charlene Fate, Sylvia Wohlfarth and Marla Bishop to write any form of poem using the word Missing.

I should mention this is nerve-wracking — the first time I’ve ever prompted anyone to do anything.

I don’t fancy ordering people about — so this is a request to please keep the chain going with a new prompt and tagging others.

Thanks for playing!
