Hello, Colleen, and Company… No poems lately, but I do enjoy stopping by and reading.
I don’t recall ever using the word “useful” in a poem. That would by quite the challenge.
Matter of fact, that FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE chart to my immediate right is intimidating.
Especially Idioms… Take for instance, “water under the bridge.” Where else would it go?
LOL! The English language is a marvelous thing, isn’t it Michael. 💜
