I couldn’t help reblogging this poem which uses a bird as the metaphor for the creative process. Yes, it has a simile in it, but the entire poem itself my mind becomes a wild bird.
For Muriopsis’s Scavenger Hunt “Looking at Names” prompt number 12, to use a bird as a metaphor.

Here’s a smaller version so you can see the shape on a smaller device. I’ve been working on this shape for seven hours. Sheesh! how time flies. I have versions of four different birds, but I think I like the duck best.
In case you are curious, here is another version of “Aimless.” Same poem, different bird–a plumed exotic with its wings extended.
And, for those who haven’t had enought, here is the first view I did:
Concrete poems are one of the most difficult forms for me – these are all marvelous!!! (can you hear the applause?)

And your tail is too short….I don’t know how you did it, I have never been able to even do Emojis~! Also considering myself great if I can only pyramid a poem. So I would never consider eight hours, just to give someone the bird, when I can do it faster with one hand~!
