how to SIMILE and METAPHOR?

Let us SIMILE and METAPHOR my dear viewers......


A simile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than".
 A metaphor is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas, the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word.  Metaphors compare things without using "like" or "as."

Here are a list of similes and metaphors:


SIMILE:

As bold as brass
As brave as a lion
As bright as a button
As bright as a new pin
As bright as day
As bright as the sun
As busy as a beaver
As busy as a bee
As busy as a cat on a hot tin roof
As calm as a millpond
As clear as a bell
As clean as a hound's tooth
As clean as a whistle
As clear as crystal
As clear as mud
As cold as ice
As common as dirt
As cool as a cucumber
As crazy as a loon
As cunning as a fox
As cute as a baby
As cute as a button
As cute as a cup cake
As damp as the salty blue ocean
As dead as a doornail
As dead as the dodo
As deaf as a post
As delicate as a flower
As dense as a brick
As different as chalk from cheese
As drunk as a lord
As dry as a bone
As dry as dust
As dull as dishwater
As easy as A.B.C.

UNDERSTOOD???....well lets us move on to METAPHOR shall we....?


Here is a list of METAPHOR:


  •          A laugh in the sea of sadness
  •          The noise is music to his ears
  •          He swam in the sea of diamonds
  •          His belt was a snake curling around his waist
  •          Love is a growing garland
  •          Your friendship is the picture to my frame
  •          Authority is a chair, it needs legs to stand up
  •          Once your heart's been broken it grows back bigger
  •          His hair is a white snowflake and his hair is a messy haystack
  •          He is all heartbroken
  •          The pigeons fountained into the air
  •          Her hair was bone white
  •          He tried to help but his legs were wax
  •          It's raining men
  •          Words are false Idols
  •          Ideas are wings
  •          Kicked the bucket
  •          The sea is a hungry lion
  •          She is a dog when she is hungry
  •          A heart of gold
  •          A light in a sea of darkness
  •          Strength and dignity is what she is made of
  •          Heart of a lion
  •          He is the sun of my sky
  •          Light of their life
  •          Pull your socks up
  •          Life is a mere dream, a fleeting shadow on a cloudy day
  •          Drowning in the sea
  •          Jumping for joy
  •          Rolling in dough
  •          Apple of the eye
  •          It rained cats and dogs
  •          Information travels faster in this modern age as our days start crawling away
  •           Reality is an enemy
  •         Truth is food for him
  •          Fear is a beast that Feeds on attention
  •          Spiritual seeking is treasure hunting
  •          Life's journey is a bicycle ride down the hill
  •          Ideas are water
  •          Thoughts are a storm, unexpected

          These are the list of simile and metaphor for your understanding and have fun.  ^_^
