Poetry is perfect for cliche
It’s a better way
To say what I want to say!
Sometimes a synonym will do
It’s true!
At least it’s been thought through
Rewriting what’s previously written
I’m smitten
With the hand already bitten!
No poems of autumn or spring
So please bring
Me less cliched words to sing!
Written for a task at AllPoetry.com in connection with cliche. Cliches are often useful, so long as they are not overused, and often express exactly what is required. For me though, I really don’t like cliched poetic topics like seasons or flowers, unless done really well and bringing a new dimension to the subject. I have a pet peeve with some words too but I can’t remember them now because as soon as I see them I click away from reading and forget about them immediately. Next time I see one, I want to try and understand why it is that I dislike it so much! I looked up synonyms of cliche to find bromide! Haha! Never used that word in my life.

A new synonym for me too.
