I just had this sentence off my head: > A crown of fire spread through the country consuming everything on its way. What I mean by empty metaphor is a metaphor that doesn't really have any meaning or even purpose. The same sentence could be replaced with the following: > A circle of fire spread through the country consuming everything on its way. Also, I don't even think crown would make sense even if the "fire" was spread by an evil king. What do you think?
