Magical Metaphors

Room 5 —

Room 5 have been exploring how metaphor can be used to enhance our writing and create imagery.

Books are clocks

Hear the tic of every second go by

While the knowledge seeps into your brain

The hope of time arriving

Inspired to be a hero

Time will heal, wisdom will grow

And all will see light.

Wool is chocolate

Endless possibilities

Colours, textures, flavours, shapes

A delicious purple sweater?

A caramel bow hair tie?

A melt-in-your-mouth pink tablecloth?

Sure!

So many colours and shapes to devour

Always more to explore

Addictive pastime that never fails to delight

Whole communities dedicated to this sweet, tasty craft

Delicious entertainment for all.

Bees are clocks

Working to kill time

Hands moving

Helping and keeping a place in a house

or hive

Tracking a deadline

Ticking off an objective.

The galaxy is a book

Filled with pages of knowledge

No one knows the secrets about this unknown universe

There is unlimited knowledge in this endless void

The next page is unknown

We are just a speck

A haven for infinite possibilities and stories.
