We are writing poetry at school. Tomorrow, we write extended metaphors. I provide examples for students. I wrote this extended metaphor several years ago. I hope you enjoy.
Life is a spirited ride…
It soars;
Plummets;
Break neck speed.
Out of control;
On the edge;
It swerves–
Remains on the rails.
Never fully alone;
Solitude appears when needed;
Safe, yet vulnerable–
This paradox.
I breathe deep,
Exhilarated—
Life fully lived and experienced;
Not meant to be tamed.
