A simile is a way of comparing one thing to another, for example saying that “Your hair is as soft as silk.” Note that this is different to a metaphor, which says something is another thing, like saying “Your hair is silk.” Think of something, an object or a person, for example, and write down as many similes as you can think of. Then collect these similes into a poem. Will you add anything else to the poem or leave it as similes? [Image by taytay209 on YWP]
