SIMILE POEMS
A simile uses the words "like" or "as" when making a comparison between two things that are not alike. The poetic device is an approach that can help communicate experiences and emotions that are beyond words.
The Basketball
The basketball is an airplane, It flies down the court heading Straight for the basket. The basketball is like a heartbeat Pounding rhythmically on the Gymnasium floor. The basketball is as smooth as butter As it slides out of my hands and Into the basket. TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
Twinkle, twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. |
MOM
My mom is like a fire. She's always warm, but sometimes she gets too hot. YOUR FEET
Your feet smell so bad Just like limburger cheese That I’m holding my nose tight between my two knees. -Denise Rodgers BEST FRIENDS
Best friends are like four leaf clovers, Hard to find, But lucky to get! |
