RE: Poetry Editing 101: Session Four – Avoid Cliches Like the Plague or I Shall Smite Thee with the Poxe
Nice tips.
I know one recommendation I've heard is to tweak and contort the cliche to fit your own experience with your own detail, similar to your inky bruise example.
The cliche still has power, it just has to be made unique again.
That's a great article. Yes, I love rewriting cliches.
