Being stood up is like being the last fruit on the tree, Left to wither through the winter

Feeling angry is like carrying a volcano in the pit of your stomach that threatens to erupt at any moment

The leaves fell from the tree like a thousand paratroopersLeaping into battle behind enemy lines

The class was as boring as counting the perforations in a golf ball

A Simile poemBy

Stanley Cook

Page 11: Figurative Language. Imagery SimileMetaphor Personification Aural imagery Alliteration Assonance Onomatopoeia Symbol

Like the white curls from a gigantic beardDrifting across the barber’s shop floor

In the breeze from the open door;Like the broken parts of the ice floe

Afloat on the blue of the ocean,Drifting southward from the Pole;Like a heavily laden treasure fleet

In a light wind on the calm sea,Hardly moving with all sails set;

Like suds of foam from the waterfallThat lathers the rocks at its foot,

Gliding over a tranquil pool;Like wool from a fleece,Like smoke from a fire,Like islands in the sky.

Like the white curls from a gigantic beardDrifting across the barber’s shop floor

In the breeze from the open door;Like the broken parts of the ice floe

Afloat on the blue of the ocean,Drifting southward from the Pole;Like a heavily laden treasure fleet

In a light wind on the calm sea,Hardly moving with all sails set;

Like suds of foam from the waterfallThat lathers the rocks at its foot,

Gliding over a tranquil pool;Like wool from a fleece,Like smoke from a fire,Like islands in the sky.

Name the Title - D.H. Lawrence

Like a glove, a black glove thrown up at the light, And falling back

Wings like bits of umbrella

Hanging upside down like rows of disgusting old rags And grinning in their sleep

Who am I?An owl staring into the darkness,A star fruit, bursting with juice.

A dramatic orchestral movement

And the sky just after a storm.A swirling black cloak

And a whispered secret.

And chiselled clear on stoneA spider-web of shell,The thumb print of the sea.

Lord Alfred Tennyson

The Eagle

HE clasps the crag with crooked hands;Close to the sun in lonely lands,Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;He watches from his mountain walls,And like a thunderbolt he falls.

HE clasps the crag with crooked hands;Close to the sun in lonely lands,Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;He watches from his mountain walls,And like a thunderbolt he falls.

The angry clouds marched across the sky.

The lonely train whistle cried out in the night.

The hungry chainsaw growled loudly.

The stubborn dense fog swallowed us.

The evening stars winked at me from the sky.

He who owns the whistle, rules the worldBy Roger McGough

January wind and the sunPlaying truant again.Rain beginning to scratchIts fingernails acrossThe blackboard sky

In the playgroundKids divebomb, cornerAt Silverstone or execute Traitors. ArmedWith my Acme ThundererI step outside,Take a deep breathAnd bring the worldTo a standstill.

The MoonBy Percy Shelley

AND, like a dying lady lean and pale, Who totters forth, wrapp'd in a gauzy veil, Out of her chamber, led by the insane And feeble wanderings of her fading brain, The moon arose up in the murky east, A white and shapeless mass.

Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth, And ever changing, like a joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy?
