Reclaiming Cliche

Take a cliche and transform it into something fresh.

Cliched phrase: {{cliche}}
Original meaning: {{meaning}}
Context for reclamation: {{context}}

Reclamation strategies:

1. **Literalize:** Take the metaphor literally
2. **Extend:** Push the cliche further than expected
3. **Subvert:** Turn the cliche on its head
4. **Defamiliarize:** Make the familiar strange again
5. **Interrogate:** Question why this became cliche
6. **Source:** Return to the original usage

Draft multiple transformations:
- Literal version
- Extended version
- Subverted version
- Interrogated version

Select the strongest and integrate into a poem.

Reflect on when cliches can be redeemed vs. when they must be abandoned.
