Simile Poems

*FLINT
An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds a fire.
(Christina Rossetti)

*FRIENDS
Friends are like family.
They don’t get mad if you use a little title for a poem that they made up.
A good friend can’t get as mad as a parent can.
Friends are also like a cat , a dog , or a pet.
They are faithful.
(Jessy)

*A RED, RED ROSE
O My Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O My Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel, awhile!
And I will come again, my luve
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile!
(Robert Burns)

*DEATH
Irreversible like time
As saddening as losing something valuable
Unmerciful like the devil
Can change someone's life forever
Death..

*A DREAM DEFFERED
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
(Langston Hughes)

*TREES
Trees are as beautiful as buzzing bees.
Roots are as dirty as green moths.
Earwigs are like bees; they infest trees.
Ever green trees are as big as towers.
Socks are like leaves in trees. They can be green from grass stains.
(James)

*HATRED
Hatred can last a lifetime,
If you can't work out your problems.
Hatred is as dark as a stormy night
Uncontrollable and gloomy.
Hatred is like a lightning storm
Violent and brutal.
Hatred can be demanding,
When you are in trouble.
Hatred is like a hurricane
Destructive and cold.
Hatred is like a fire-
Consuming and hard to stop.
Hatred can be the end of life,
If you let it be in control
Of your mind, body and soul.
(Valet Every Wish)

*CRAZZY
He's as crazy as a bat
flying around all night
bumping into walls
hiding in dark corners.
He's as crazy as a butterfly
dressing in bright colours
bursting into the day
flying into open nets
He's as crazy as a thief
trying to take everything
leaving nothing behind
emptying even his mind

*PIANO
Playing the piano is like
A bird soaring in the sky.
When you play the keys it is like
Flying your fingers across the piano.
The notes are like
Clouds drifting through the sky.
(Autumn)

*SENSES
Sadness is as happy as laughter
You might cry because it hurts
You might laugh because it hurts
But I know one thing
laughter is laughter
and sadness is sadness
They can show the
same things like
hurting and gladness

*YOUR LOVE
Your love warms me
Like my favorite morning tea
Your love comforts me
Like a lake in August heat
Your love melts me
From my eyes to my toes
Your love means everything to me
And I will never let you go…

*HOCKEY
Hockey is like reading
You get into it and then you never want to stop
You feel like you're in a different world.
Hockey is like school
You have to do your work and
you have to practice or you will get an "F"
Hockey is like math
You get stronger and before you know it
You're getting an "A"
Your scoring goals
Now that's
Hockey!

*VELVET
My mind is as brave as a warrior of the night.
It's ready to take on anything
that comes to it.
It can take on any dream,
and always follows life.
(Alex)
