Welcome to the blog post challenge.
Below is an example of a blog post written by Pie.
Image Poem
The moon is
as pale as a swan,
like an albino eye staring.
Silver thumbprint.
An apple is
as red as Snow White’s blood,
like a sweet planet.
Blossom’s dream.
A frozen lake is
as smooth as a Lamborghini,
like a giant’s crystalised mirror.
Winters’ camouflage.
A pencil is
as sharp as a cross word,
like a dynamite stick of ideas.
Imagination-crafter.
A wave is
as loud as cymbals crushing,
like a hair cut of water curling.
Surfer’s delight.
A swan is
as white as a bride’s dress,
like a graceful dance of feathers.
A glide of savage beauty.

Metaphor Maps
Windows:
glass eyes;
open mouths.
Candles:
white, slight figures;
inedible sticks of rock.
Pillows:
soft Wheetabix;
purse of dreams.
Fingernails:
jagged moons;
a fist of suns.
Leaves:
frail maps;
lost starfish.
Lightning:
Hair-thin cracks in a vase;
disease strokes the dark.

AS poem
As quick as a tick,
as slow as a brick in a wall,
as loud as a planet exploding,
as quiet as a mouse praying,
as misty as steam on morning coffee,
as sad as a lost baby’s shoe,
as happy as a first birthday,
as cold as frozen raspberry gelato,
as hot as melted toffee on ice cream,
as tired as a teacher after a day in school,
as lively as a bare electric wire,
as tall as King Kong stretching on his toes,
as distant as the last note of a song fading.
