Welcome to my National Poetry Month project for 2026, where I am playing with poetry by generating poems in playful ways. Today's poem was inspired by Metaphor dice.
Metaphor dice contain red, white, and blue dice. Red are filled with CONCEPTS, usually abstract nouns or big ideas. Blue are filled with OBJECTS, or smaller nouns or humbler things. White are filled with ADJECTIVES or short descriptive phrases. To play, you roll the dice, make a metaphor, and write a poem inspired by it.
Here are the dice I selected. I used the metaphor as a title and wrote a cinquain.
Time is an Impossible Promise
clocks lie
seconds fall loose
we hold what cannot hold
future flickers beyond our reach
untold
