WRITING OBSTACLE

Write a story or poem about finding your way that makes use of an extended metaphor.

An extended metaphor is one where you continue to use its imagery and associations beyond the first instance.

Don’t Look Down

Don’t look down

Don’t look behind

You will be more scared

Then the first time


Your greatest fear

Your largest lie

Will creep right back

If you give it time


Climb that wall

Straight up to the sky

Don’t give up

Don’t comply


This fear of heights

Restricts your life

Brings you down

Confines your mind


Don’t let it win

Don’t let it decide

This is your show

Run your own life
