Use of Similes and Metaphors in Poetry

"Two Ears, One Mouth" by Maria and Kennedy

Listening is a prize
So look inside
It'll make you wise.

One mouth is sweet
Listening is a treat.

Your mouth is a waterfall
So don't let it leak
Your mouth is a beak

Tweet, tweet, tweet.



"Snakes" by Noah

The python was as hungry as a cow
The snake could eat a cow
The cobra was like a lion
The cobra is as scary as a devil
The snake is as slimy as a worm

"My Dog" by Joey

Her fur is as black as coal
When I touch her fur it is soft like silk
She is sweet and lazy
Her heart is as pure as gold
She is a beautiful dog
She is Millie


"The Moon and the Sun" by Kathleen and Jeshua

The moon and the sun
are as round as a clock.

The sun is the moon
when the day is dark

The moon is as bumpy
as a bumpy road.

The sun is a bright
light bulb.

The sun and the moon
tell time to whom?

"The Golden Dog" by Brendan

Shinier than the brightest light
But guess what - she won't bite!
As wise as the wisest man or woman
Doesn't jump on tables for food
Because if she did, that would be rude
She is even golder than gold
Cute like a toddler
In bed at night
As fast as lightning
Through the night
She is my dog...
Goodbye
