As an English literature major and a clinician practicing narrative therapy, I often notice metaphors, including thinly veiled ones:
If you read carefully that comic strip by Levni Yilmaz, you’ll also discover cognitive distortions including shoulds, emotional reasoning, labeling, and blaming.
Do you see any metaphors in my other captured images from yesterday?
I wonder if it’s a metaphor that on this Presidents’ Day weekend my phone and my laptop are not communicating and are refusing to share images with each other. Maybe it’s a metaphor that I’m working harder to create these posts, starting on my phone and then completing my daily blog on my laptop.
Nevertheless, it’s easy enough to share this metaphor-filled song, performed by The Temptations and UB40:
I look forward to any metaphors, similes, or other figures of speech in your comments, below.
Thanks to all who helped me create this “Metaphors” post, including YOU!

I like metaphors because they’re comparisons but never precise, so you have to think carefully about what they’re trying to say. They’re like similes in that way.
No one is like you, Chris.
My mind is a blank!
You are a peach!
The comic strip was funny but it was sad when I figured out why I was laughing. It’s a really great metaphor.
Thank you for another great comment, Gigi.
A sad funny laugh indeed
Thanks for sharing it with me, Jo-Anne.
I don’t think I’ve seen that fireplace before. The flame of reason abides in your home!
Thanks for the reason and warmth of your comments, Lisa!
Metaphors have always been lost on me. But at least someone understands and uses them. I wonder if the doggie in the diving gear gets it? ha…
Your fabulousness is not lost on me, you goddess!
In this modern age, I sometimes have to ask myself, Ann, what’s a meta for?
I never ask myself, will Mark’s comments hit the mark? Another bullseye, my meta and mega friend.
