You are sweet – thank you!
I use metaphors a lot. For example, Coffee Shop Window, which I just happened to post was written entirely based off me walking past a coffee shop last night. But in turn, I switch it around and base it off the outside looking in and that mistakes aren’t truly mistakes (with a touch of becoming content).
I always say that harsh life experiences equal better poetry as you can understand and grasp words in a variety of ways. Obviously that happens over a period of time, but my one thing is to look and understand words in more than what they were originally intended.
I don’t necessarily write for people to understand what I’m saying, but to get it off my chest and figure out why it happened in the way that it did. Other people might not understand what you’re saying, but you do. If someone happens to understand in a way – that’s wonderful.
