The best way random and thus a metaphor

The best way to think of a metaphor is that it usually two ideas without search report something they have in common is taken, then crush in their common element. Here is an example:
The smell of rotting food permeates me in the nose
Although this line is connected to the sense of smell, which is also a metaphor for the word "invasion". Literally, the smell is not in a position invasion. It's just a smell, no army. But when you think about the idea of ​​the "smell of rotten food" and the concept of invasion, we can connect with each other, because they go to the same idea, where you do not want to share. So if I had to write that line and it was stuck in "the smell of rotting food," then we can ask, "what to do with an undesirable odor?"
At this point, you "do not get into." Probably have an idea as So you may be wondering, "What else has this quality" At this point, you will land in the "invasion". or perhaps an interesting metaphor Here is another example:
I'm pregnant with ideas
Of course you can not be literally pregnant with ideas. You can not get pregnant with a child. But when mixed "pregnancy" with "ideas" by their common link, you get a metaphor. If someone is pregnant, you are carrying something in them that come soon in the world to take their own lives. An idea also has this property. This is what unites them and makes the line of work as a metaphor.
If you want to reach a metaphor for the word "idea" was first ask yourself, "What qualities must have an idea?" If you have decided, "which is something that is in you, to make it comes and takes his own life", then you can "pregnant with ideas" as a metaphor. A further look. Then you can begin to find your own.
His loneliness echoes within
What is the common point between loneliness and echo? Time has elapsed. It is empty. Someone who is lonely may feel full or empty. Simultaneously the echoes are generated when no obstacle to absorb sound. In other words, they come in empty space. Thus, the vacuum is the glue that work "The loneliness inside reflects" allowed as a metaphor.
Try to find some of his own metaphors now. Consider two items at random and thus a metaphor for the search for an element that unites them. I guarantee you to enjoy it, but that will probably come up with some interesting lines that you can use in your letters.
