In our Writers WORDshop we are studying metaphors and similies. They certainly add interest to creative writing. Here's some I wrote during our class taught by one of the members of the group Wilma: The moon is like...an open window that reveals God to us. A shoe is like...a protective parent enclosing us in a safe embrace. Our nose points the way to go like the needle on a compass that we follow. An eyebrow shields us from the sun like a beach umbrella. She was as lonely as a single dandelion lost in a field of sunflowers. They were as tall and thin as trees bereft of leaves buffeted by winter's cold winds. He was as plump as a balloon ready to burst. Try your hand at them. It's fun!
RESISTANCE comes creeping like a sly cat wanting to leap on an unsuspecting prey, yet waiting for just the right moment to pounce.
SHYNESS is a wall that protects us from hurt and limits our adventures.
COURAGE with faith encourages growth like fertilizer helps plants to grow and bloom.
