All things metaphor
Have you seen Fountain Hills, fountain? A friend's dad compared the canvas of the foam caused by the fountain, wind to a boat. Its the sail that triggered this comparision. Do you look at our impulse to run and compare what we see with what we already know.
Treasure trove of metaphor articles
Recently I meant to read an article about metaphor and poetry. Have to find that.
In December an essay on Modern poetry is due.

Repetition
In both Sea rose and Sea poppies, HD uses drift, flung and sea repeat.
In lines and Between walls, William Carlos Williams repeats broken pieces of green glass.
In an interview Kay Rya talks about repetition.
In Rose Pogonias, Frost talks of the colored flowers as 'wings of color' and HD calls her sea poppy a 'flame on leaf'.
In ModPo course the Sea rose and Sea poppies were seen as templates of modern imagist poetry. But as Tim Kendall says it could be just about their favourite flowrs.

Reading
The secret lives of Bookmarks. Yes, where are they hiding? I know one is stuck in the office cubicle between the barrier and table. Difficult to retrieve. When you are a reader, bookmarks are a gift you are sure to get. Their whereabouts after that? A GPS on it could help.

Wars and Armours
A modern uncle made his
nephew dress as terrorist
Admiral Yi dressed his
nephew in his own armour
to see through to victory

How long does it take to forget a word?
Atmost 15 years of disuse.
I forgot the mole from chemistry class. The first mole we learn is of the identification marks to be filled in the application forms for any school. Then you meet the word in the chemistry class. Then in the culinary world. Then in the 24 TV show.

The four states of matter
The reflection of a metal trellis and citrus leaves
from the lights of tennis courts onto the path
like a metallic shiny paper, starburst.
parents skate baby in stroller
man walks guitar upside down
Broken glass
Empty parking

Title and * from A world of curiosities
