poetry

Simile:
He is fast as a car.
She is tall like a tree.
He is a student but he teaches like a teacher.
He is big as an elephant.
He is strong as a bull.

Metaphor:
A person at jail is a criminal.
She is a flower.
He is a tiger.
The car is big.
The Latinos are the best.

Personification:
The trees move their arms when the air blows hard.
The cars get mad and yell at each other when there is too much traffic.
The lampposts talk to me while I get home.
My bike gets tired when I ride it the whole day.
The soccer ball asks me to play with it when it is alone.

Hyperbole:
The kid ran so fast that he almost flied.
He is so tall that he can touch the ceiling.
He is so dirty that the smell makes you cry.
She was so smart that she died because of it.
He is so fat that when it rains you get close to him and you don’t get wet.

Alliteration:
Brown bats fly at night.
She sells corn in the corner of the street.
They dance on the float floor.
The spider speaks to them.
The school screams to the students every day.
