Sick Again…First Stanza (round robin)

A few nights I have had that turned into long days...I am up next so here it goes...

"My tongue sits in my mouth
like a boulder in a granite quarry
Hardened and dry, like caustic lime
My head pounds and rings out
Like a steel worker’s three pound hammer"

It adds to the elegance of the writing.
It adds dept to the sentence and and gives the reader a sense of awe.

Different types of figures of speech in English are used for expressing different meanings.

This is an integral part of the English language and can be found in poetry, oral literature and even in everyday conversations. For eye-catching purposes and also for adding humour.

Apt and yet beautiful!

those days at all! I especially like the reference to:
"checking myself for head trauma" and the mention
of "half a day late for work". That cost me a couple of jobs.
No doubt about it, sick again, is the pits! Nice work
I almost had to check myself for head trauma! ~ Geez.

I really liked the IPA (does that mean India Pale Ale?) very good job!
