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.
Right?
Have I lost my voice?
I call out your name.
You say to be quiet,
But you’d never betray.
Right?
You argue for what you believe
As I listen with full attention.
I try to speak, but you won’t perceive
As I reason against contention.
Maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe you’re right.
But that doesn’t mean you should ignore my plight.
Guess that’s it.
Guess I’m done.
I can’t keep running from each little one.
You force words I never said
As I stare in disbelief.
I try to speak, but you turn your head
As I turn away in grief.
Have I lost my voice?
I love you, but I can’t understand.
You’ve changed through the years,
And I stand alone.
Right?
