By The prompt this week was poetry but make sure to include a metaphor. This is a figure of speech that gets used a lot but it is still work re-visiting.
Metaphor: A figure of speech that compares two different things by stating that one is the other, highlighting similarities for emphasis or symbolism (Grammarly.com)
When I was in college and wrote for the university newspaper, we quoted the First Amendment before each meeting. Due to the subject of this poem, I thought it prudent to add.
First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
What are you writing about this week? Let me know in the comments.
My mind is papered with newsprint
Black and white images bouncing between the synapsis
Thought trains in inverted pyramids, the facts go first
The details come later.
Sources, sources, sources
We have to check our sources
And for God sake, site them
Leave out the bias
It has no place in the news
But ethics do
Report things as they are
Context always matter
I have fallen down a rabbit hole
And like Alice, both worlds are mad
But mine has lost some of its color
Why so gray and beige?
Beyond throwing paint on things
How do we bring back color?
Expand our minds: read, write
Fuck censorship
Write color back into the world.
