Metaphor Monday
How is everyone today? The holidays are about to start here, so a nice calming image of a butterfly should relax us before the craziness of summer activities.
Isn’t this the most beautiful picture!
The silk scarf came alive and flew away.
Twister was fed up of being all hands and feet.
The stained glass window attracted more than just light.
Would you like to make up a poem using one of these lines or make your own poem up with a metaphor in? Yes, you have to work if you come here on Mondays

Lovely scarf. You could almost put your arms through it and fly away.
A kaleidoscope of color
A trip though a time of the past
That would make a great poem, Pat. You’re on form as usual.
That picture made me stop and take a calming, deep breath!
Translucent glass beads, a curtain of colors to another world.
Beautiful!
Gorgeous image! I love the line about the silk scarf coming to life. I can picture that.
That is a scarf? How gorgeous!! At first I thought it was a painting. Love this!
I’m assuming it’s a picture but it doezn’t look like a painting. With all these great metaphors it can be anything you want it to be.
Coleen I love your comment about it being calming.
light layers, shade shift, colors collared
I love the image of you reading – left sidebar!
Plenty of poem fodder from you all today. Thanks Julie!
Gorgeous image there… Love the metaphor.
Thanks Elizabeth. I’m back from my son’s field trip so I’ll head on over while I can
What a beautiful pic. I love butterflies…I often call them flutterbys when I’m being…childish. LOL!
Laura that’s a great word! I feel a poem coming on.
Gorgeous, Catherine! Butterflies make for some of the best metaphors.
A nice image for summer too
I am probably too late…but here goes.
The childrens’ eyes reflected back their beauty
as they watched them flutter
in perfect synchronization.
Ruby that’s beautiful!
If I stare at the purple dot long enough, will it sink into my soul?
Magic scarves are said to do that to a person.
Ellie that’s like a one line poem, love it!
Stained-glass leaves? (metaphor)
Poem -
Took off my scarf.
Simple origami.
Presto!
A butterfly of silk!
Erik that is a metaphor and a super one at that and that poem is awesome! Well done.
Sorry so slow…but I have been out of pocket.
Out from a cocoon of night
Filtered colors catch the light
Vision springs
Spreading wings
Beauty lifting off in flight.
So beautiful Penny. We’re on our way to a chapbook of poems from one picture. Way to go everyone!
