76 Inventing Metaphors by Pie Corbett First of all, identify something that you want to create a metaphor around eg the stars. Think of something that is like the subject or something to do with the subject - they shine, glitter, are like tin-tacks, like diamonds, like jewels, like fiery eyes. Now use an idea to make a metaphor, remembering not to use the word 'like', e.g. Generate a simile - the stars are like diamonds. Omit the word 'like' - the stars are diamonds. Move the noun in front of the image - the diamond stars. Dylan Thomas uses this technique in his writing!
