An epic quest
To write a poem is a demanding task,
It's like painting a masterpiece --
A work of heart, an extensive journey.
Here you set sail to the vast seas,
A reckless ship, with not even a map,
And you hope to find something
That you can turn into art
Or that helps with your craft
But, though eagerly you search
In vain you may,
Or, sometimes, the mindset is not correct
And just a change in the winds
Is all you need.
There, under the radiant Sun,
The particles reflecting the light
And above the shining waters,
The land of art is within reach
Of the artists that with their hearts search for it.
Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that contains at least one of a different kind of simile – an epic simile. Also known as Homeric similes, these are basically extended similes that develop over multiple lines.
