GloPoWriMo Day Twenty-Six

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.
