I always worry that clichés are used as an accusation. A cliché can be used to trigger a memory, thought or emotion before you lead them in to something else. A cliché can bring a familiarity and rhythm in poetry that draws an otherwise distant observer into the fold. I like clichés (if they are used within reason)… perhaps I am irritated that people are irritated by clichés, haha. Oh yeah, fab poem mind thought thingy.

Oh, and is ‘Pardon my French?’ a cliche because it sure is annoying enough to be one. Swear with abandon, I say. No apologies necessary.
