this is harder then it seems
Good luck.
Pick one of the common cliches
from the list and incorporate it
into a poem.
Example:
"The flames of the argument was
dying so he threw gasoline to
inflame the fire"
my cliche was "throw gasoline on the fire"
Here's the list and good luck.
Common Cliches:
when pigs fly
fall head over heels
rotten to the core
an uphill battle
he's all thumbs
throw gasoline on the fire
a shot in the dark
get off your high horse
no guts, no glory
white as snow
pure as a dove
running on empty
tilting at windmills
a fish out of water
penny for your thoughts
love is like a rose
airing dirty laundry
in glass houses, don't throw stones
through thick and thin
life is like a box of chocolates
thorn in your side
you're either with us or against us
raining on my soul
you are my heart and soul.
