Metaphor Monday
WANA buddy Judythe Morgan has kindly offered her book cover, The Pendant’s Promise as metaphor fodder today. Thanks Judy!
Steel viper threatens steel butterfly.
The pendant is dependent on you.
We managed to escape with the bling, ‘Oops!’
Which is priceless? The pendant or the promise?
I got a bit carried away, few of these are metaphors. Anyone else carried away today?

I’m so bad: I first read ‘judy the morgan’! Hee hee!
Uplifting suspense
Winged prayers
I did the same thing as Julie! It took me a minute to figure out. I blame it on the early hour and the fact that my coffee is still brewing. Also the reason I can’t think up any metaphors
But it’s a cool cover!
I have to admit having done the same. It was only when I went looking to read about Judythe that I read about the name’s origins.
Nice metaphors, Julie!
I suppose it is better than being dependent on the pendant. ‘Cause that’s just greedy.
It sure is, you funny fellow. Thanks for the Monday morning chuckle.
Some pretty cool metaphors so far. I’m still thinking! That’s what revision hell does to your brain…freezes it.
Thanks for sharing the the cover, Catherine. Looking forward to more fun metaphors when I check in later to day.
Judy-the Morgan…yep that’s how everyone reads Judythe. You can read the full story of how I came to have the unique spelling of my name here: http://www.judythemorgan.com/
Hi Judythe, I think the link in your name goes there too. I hope we have enough metaphors for a fun poem later. See you back here!
Shoot, I can’t think of any metaphors, although I do hear Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice shouting, “Get in the choppa. Do it now!”
The cover looks pretty great. The helicopter and the pendant together make me curious what the story is about.
Brilliant, Mike! I can picture that too.
The pendant is an emerald keepsake. Imprinted with Grandfather’s vow. The promise is his word to his favorite grandchild. The copter is Angel Flight.
Wow Freeda, there’s the start of your next novel.
If so, my work is cut out for me! lol Her cover art is intriguing!
the blades were churning knives through my heart
as the pendant and it’s promise were green rain
never to fall on the rock my heart had become
Oh…that is heavy for me!!! I’m usually light-hearted and carefree. But not with that cover!! It brought out my serious side LOL
Lovely poem, Penny. We’ve turned you to the dark side only Luke can save you now
Read this late last night and wanted to think about it, and then forgot to check back. Sorry I’m bad today.
Emeralds are a girl’s best friend
Slipping away
In need of a chopper
Blades of steel
Beam me up Scotty
And I almost forgot to come back with a poem. Thanks, Pat.
On winged prayers
we watch
as the steel viper
slips away
but the copter in angel flight
dips and snatches girl’s best friend
to sanctuary
or darkness
we are left in
uplifting suspense
That is some nice cover art! It’s fun reading all the responses–my brain never lets me play along. Sigh.
No pressure, Coleen. Hopefully it’s a fun spectator sport too.
Beautiful and evocative cover! Perfect for a Metaphor Monday.
I’m still trying to get a grasp on metaphors.
Here’s mine:
The helicopter dipped like my stomach on a rollar coaster.
Hmm, I think that’s a simile actually. Oh well, I’m going to bed now and I will try again next week.
Super Simile Tuesday lol. That’s brilliant, Wendy.
Love all the ideas flowing from my cover today. Some have offered great story ideas. Thanks all who have played on Metaphor Monday.
After taxing my brain all day, this is the best i can come up with…
In vain, the wall of names and the chopper tried to crush the pendant, but the emerald glowed with forever promise.
Remember, I write genre novels, not literary or poetry. (I think you can see why. LOL)
Thanks so much for sharing my cover today, Catherine. Can’t wait to see next Monday’s fun.
I love wall of names, nice poem!
Thanks so much for coming here today, Judythe. We all want to read The Pendant’s Promise now.
Book Building.
I didn’t even notice your ‘book building’ until you said that. Well done, Erik!
Sounds like a rap song… I like it
