First, as the title my indicate, I wrote harmless knife. Showed it to the friend I mentioned earlier. He told me something which was sadly absolutely right. I missed the point. The aim of metaphor writing is to create a picture of those two words. A picture one might not see at the first glance. If you do that, it helps you to find metaphors for situations, objects or whatever which are surprising and still good.

In harmless knife I just wrote whatever came first into my mind about harmless knife.
Harmless knife 2 is a second try on those to words. I tried to get back to what I eventually want to do with metaphor writing.

Harmless Knife:
Knives are harmless. Really. Absolutely harmless. After all it´s people that kill people and not knives. Knives don´t kill people. Knives are for cutting. You can´t shoot people with knives. Guns shoot people, but not knives. You can´t club people with knives, or that you got – clubs. You can´t strangle people with knives. Hands strangle people, but not knives. You can´t shock freeze people with knives, Nitrogenium does that. See? Knives are harmless.

Harmless Knife 2:
Words spat in spite, accompanied by dishes flying right past my head, you scream at me. Yet every curse you throw, a harmless knife. Why the hell should I care? The oceans big! And sorry to tell you that, but your colors ain´t as bright and shiny as they used to be.
