TEACHER WELL WORN SONG BIRD

Metaphor Dice is a game by Taylor Mali to help students and writers be creative. It is reasonably priced so I bought a set, one for myself and one for my college bound granddaughter. You can play as an individual or as a group. Toss the dice and build a metaphor, or rearrange for something more.

For example:

• My teacher is a well worn song bird.
• A song bird is my well worn teacher.

Now write a story or poem.

Ms. Feathers was my seventh-grade music teacher. Her face was well worn by years of students who called her catbird, not behind her back.

Or a poem: SONGBIRD

A songbird is a teacher

Well worn by its flight

Singing of travels

A musical delight

Taught life lessons during solo flights

Stopping here and there to spend the night

It’s a journey

Never finding the meaning of life

. . . Seriously just saying
