Angry Mom - #TankaTuesday #seox #metaphor #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

Hello, beautiful readers! For this week's #TankaTuesday, Robbie invites us to write an implied metaphor within our poem. She explains that an implied metaphor is when a word/phrase is connected to an object/action though it is not literally applicable. I've decided to write a seox, which is a poem with a syllabic pattern of 3-7-6-5-4-3. I've bolded and italicized my metaphors.

angry mom

child nothing but punching bag

her words cut to the bone

never a kind word

loveless childhood

bleak future
