"The Success Deal"
~0.6 mins read
"The Success Deal†(Poem)
The road is not of pleasantries
Like fuel it burns houses, so you your calories.
The deal; they which are necessities.
Let the following to you be ABCs:
Know your countries and territories.
Know your Limits and boundaries;
Your frailties and capabilities.
Know your liabilities and stupidities.
Know them before they know you.
Know no enemies, but laxities.
Like in the forest there aren’t only lilies,
Not all calling are your buddies.
Divorce your weaknesses
And marry your abilities.
Know and carry them, joys will without a map, locate you.
A poem

LITERARY DEVICE: METAPHOR 2

METAPHOR
Poem:
"Stone heart Leaders"
Some leaders;
Their hearts are Stones
That stone and shun
Our progress even at home.
Their speeches are thorns,
Our hearts; balloons
We are pieced with fake blooms
Of promises so we remain in glooms.
Our fates are ant's fates.
We are trampled upon.
Currency is our debt.
Even a cup of garry costs a bank.
(By Triple N).

Definition of Metaphor
It is a forceful yoking together of two things that may or may not be related per se. It calls one the other. Eg"That man IS A LION"
This yoking is void of the use of words like as, like, resembles, etcetera.
Tanyie and Chery (2012) say: "Metaphor is the most suggestive imaginative element of the figurative language."
The effectiveness of a metaphor hereto is to opine a commonality shared by the two things in comparison.
Types include..
Direct, Implied and Extended Metaphor.
From the above poem, a Direct Metaphor is vivid in stanza 1 line 1, when the poet says..."Their Hearts are stones." This is to show how hard and strong; also wicked bad leaders' hearts could be.
Other metaphorical expressions above are: "Even a cup of garry costs a bank; their speeches are thorns, our hearts; balloons."
That's for Metaphor today.....
