To clarify since you couldn't make the connection of water paving the way, like I said, flash flood heavy rains, happy to enlighten!(09-14-2013, 03:06 AM)Malu Wrote:Either you don't know what literal means or you don't know what pave means.(09-13-2013, 04:50 PM)cidermaid Wrote: Sorry this one is a bit of a miss for me.School got cancelled for two days because of rain, flash flooding.

I'm not getting much overall and I cannot make any connect with with water paves the way. If this is a referance to water sports, I need more to feed the image in. Specifically think line two does not carry much weight in the poem. Perhaps give this one some attention.
AJ.
and since pave means to cover (a piece of ground) usually used with concrete, asphalt, stones bricks, and I said with water, I would think that would create a image of, well hopefully not a steamroller actually paving, but a more poetic approach of visualizing what paving would like in terms of water, which I would thought was a pretty good idea for conveying a flood. Sorry, I tried to not give it away, because there are two sides to this. I could describe every single boring detail and create the exact same image, or leave it open to individual interpretation, so I will work on finding a better balance of that.(09-17-2013, 02:35 PM)billy Wrote: i saw the reason for the water but it's no so easy without the info. still it's not a bad effortthanks!
