What is a Metaphor For?
A Spy Code
A Poet’s MO
to link and illuminate
to dream while awake
It’s an artful convergence
of description and truth
A superimposition
of almost and absolute

Oh dear, I keep thinking I should use more of them. (Or maybe I am just so used to using them that I don’t even notice myself doing it any more.)

All of the above. COVID to blame, I couldn’t think of the word “metaphor” in the car the other day. Read my latest poem.

The last two lines really speak to me. Poetry has that amazing quality of dancing between almost and absolute. It can really take your breath away when done well.
