From Robert Lee Brewer’s Write Better Poetry blog: For today’s prompt, write a metaphor poem. A simile is when something is like a something else (example: I am like a tree); a metaphor is when something is something else (example: I am a tree). So take a moment to consider possible metaphors and then poem them out.
Poetry is…
that grain of sand irritating
the foot of your soul
∞
a paper cut across your fingerprint
leaving blood on the keys
∞
the scab forming over a trauma
and poets can’t stop picking
Bartholomew Barker, Poet 
Excellent metaphors!! Great piece of work!

Thanks. I consider them three separate things really. I’m curious which do you think works best?

Interesting. I’m undecided which I like the most. Each could be a prompt.
