Its April of 2020 and Day 26 of A to Z challenge. This year, I am doing Metaphors. Be it a movie, song, painting, book, idiom, etc. I plan to give a perspective to it with an explanation and a 8 line poem.
Metaphor: Zanata Stone
I am ending with the most cryptic metaphors of all. Zanata Stone, also known as Zenata Stone is a Guanche origin stone with engravings. It is known to be found in 1992 at Mountain of the Flowers in Canary Islands. The engravings on the stone are said to be in Tifinagh scripts. The Zanata Stone seems to have been related to the magical-religious traditional faith of the Guanches (aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands).
Some Guanches of Tenerife (island in Canary Islands) were also known as Zanata or Zenete, or “those with a cut tongue”. That puts together on why the stone is named so. The Zanata Stone is currently in the Archaeological Museum of Tenerife.
Poem:
Your worries, concerns,
Are rats at the mountains.
You opt for the rat?
Or the mountain hat?
While you collect the berries,
Your haters collect the worries,
Are you leaving behind?
Your Zanata stone?
For life is a metaphor and what we seek from it. It’s an quest into enigma and jigsaw puzzle with multiple answers. It’s upon us on how beautiful we fit in the pieces.
This was an interesting way to end the series. Congratulations on another successful year of A2Z challenge.

Wow Sir, Now you can put a tick against one of your New year resolution. 😉 😀
I totally enjoyed your Ato Z challenge. It was full of learning. Most of the things were new to me. Some of them had a deep message while some had beautiful stories hidden in them. Some made us think and some left us amazed. I can go through all of them again and not get bored. 🙂
I had a very nice time following this challenge Sir.
Hats off to your creative mind!
Kudos!! 🙂

Zanata stone! I’ve never heard of that. That was a great way to conclude a brilliant series. I really enjoyed reading about metaphors from A to Z and the wonderful poems that you composed during this journey. I’ll be a frequent visitor even after this A2Z. Do keep writing.
