Welcome back!

FEATURED POEM

I’m featuring Yvette’s piece because she had a problem posting the link here.

glorious banyans
provide shelter for us all
from sweltering sun

monstrous banyan trees
survival of the fittest
magnificent beasts

I have included the link in the Weekly Wrap below.

PROMPT #368

We are talking about figures of speech today.

I have chosen two for this week’s prompt.

  1. Metonymy

Metonymy is a literary device in which a word or object stands for a closely related word or objct. Metonymy gives a writer more variability with descriptions.

“I thought his movies were better when they weren’t so Hollywood.”

2. Pleonasm

Pleonasm is the use of more words than necessary to convey meaning. A writer might use pleonasm for humor or emphasis, or they might not realize they’re using extra words at all.

“The burning fire warmed the whole house.”

There is no specific theme, You can write about anything, and use one of the above figures of speech in your piece.

The format of the piece is not restricted, and there is no last date either unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap. 

We will not include any post that is found to be offensive, vulgar or hurts ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.

Create a post on your blog and copy-paste the link in the Comments. If you use a pingback, check to see if it has worked.
