I love metaphors and similes. I use them all the time. They’re some of the best ways of describing things without using the same ol’ dry and overused adjective descriptions. Like, today for instance. The title of this post (and Rhyme Time) is “where the sky ends“.
I decided to use “where the sky ends” as a metaphor for something involved in friendship. And I like to blur metaphors a little. To illustrate what I mean…I saw a definition of metaphor in one dictionary that used the example “I had fallen through a trapdoor of depression“. That’s a very obvious metaphor because your mind can almost literally see the trapdoor when it’s connected to depression.
Those kinds of metaphors are great. But I like to use them in ways that allow readers to sometimes come up with their own descriptions. Then, I know if they saw it the same way as me…or if it meant something altogether different to them. Today’s Rhyme Time is like that. I’d love to hear what you think I’m talking about when I use the metaphor…
Where The Sky Ends
We’ll be friends a long time you and me.
We have lots of places to go see.
With you right by my side,
We’ll run and fly and glide
To where the sky ends singing happily.
We’ll be friends when years have come and gone.
Others may pass by and carry on.
We’ll keep our bond alive.
We’ll walk and talk and drive
To where the sky ends right at dusk and dawn.
Let’s be friends through real and through pretends…
Up and down and rounding all the bends…
Like no friends ever were…
Whatever might occur…
We’ll still be holding hands right where the sky ends.
