I like the fact that grand feelings and metaphors like chasing ghosts or laying down a sword are mixed with down to earth things that are not as cool like telling people back home you&#8217;re doing fine. If you check out the rest of the lyrics you&#8217;ll see this literary device is used throughout the whole song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>For this week&#8217;s prompt I&#8217;d like to ask you to do the same, write me a verse where grand metaphors meet everyday things.
