Incorporating metaphor and/or simile


I came to a fork in the road



Your challenge this week is fairly straightforward as far as rules go: write about whatever you'd like, incorporating metaphor and/or simile to illustrate and highlight important parts of your story.

“DPchallenge” I came to a fork in the road as I often I do and sometimes not, I decided to take the opportunity to hedge my bet this fair morning. Not deciding betwixt the two roads I thought to compromise.

I headed down the road to my left and met a ghastly and dreadful sight, like a dream that started out well and turned for the worst. I quickly took flight, a homing pigeon flight, and returned to the fork in the road. After I was well rested, I headed down the road to my right. 

Incorporating metaphor and/or simile


I am against marriage as we know it today



Your challenge this week is fairly straightforward as far as rules go: write about whatever you'd like, incorporating metaphor and/or simile to illustrate and highlight important parts of your story. 

This little ditty came to mind this morning. I have submitted it late for your review. Believe or not it is true!

“DPchallenge” I am against marriage as we know it today. I followed her to school one day, I married her, and she fleeced me white as snow. A fool and his money is soon parted so I followed her to the Church one day, married her and she fleeced me white as snow. Not to be outdone the next time I was no fool and I did not marry her. Boy, which was a marriage made in heaven. True to marriage after it ended my female apartment manager fleeced me white as snow.
