Simile

Simile

In a simile poem the writer compares two things. Some examples of simile poems include any poem that makes comparisons using the words "like," "as," or "than."

Example:

Flowers

By Rosy Love

Like drops of paint on a painter’s easel

Resting quietly, patiently among others

To gently decorate the canvas;

Like soft silk folds of a lady’s dress

Pooling out, freshly washed,

With a hint of sweet perfume;

Like a cluster of warm, new colors

Gathered in the glowing sunrise,

Bringing the fragrance of a brand new day;

Like velvety scraps of a doll maker’s cloth

Like the sweet soft blush on children’s cheeks

Like the smile of sunshine welcoming spring

Hog Dog

By Alan Loren

 

We had a big ‘ole dog

Who thought he was a hog

Just like a dirty pig he’d squeal,

when it was time for his next meal.

As tenacious as a sow,

As idle as a cow,

Our big ‘ole dog was all mixed up

From a puppy until now.

Then one day the kindly farmer,

On whose farm he’d settled down

Approached our dog real slowly

While wearing a big frown.

The farmer said ‘things will be fine

But you really must agree,

You are a dog and not a swine

Now step inside for tea!

My example:

 Waterfall

By: Amy Jorgenson

 Like beauty of night,

The water runs

Slow down the rocks.

 Like meadow of flowers,

The water glistens

In the days light.

 Like birds of morning,

The water rolls

Into pools of complete.
