Simile Metaphor

Just Like An Ocean Of Memories

By Katherine Ayala By Kimberly L. Briones

Just like a glass My family is the ocean around us.

my heart is broken My father is the hurricane,

Just like a star knocking anything and everybody out of his

path.
you light up my life
My mother is the sunshine after the storm
Just like a rose (my father),

that blooms it's beauty clearing and calming everything else.

Just like the rain

that never stops crying My oldest brother is the sand,

Just like another human being kicked and blown away by my dad,

you let go of me but warmed with care by my mom.

Just like others

you broke my heart My oldest sister is the breeze in the wind,

Just like clouds cool, quiet, and there when you need her.

you are soft My other two brothers are the stingrays,

Just like bullets dangerous, but also willing to fight anyone

who comes along.
that you shot into my heart

And I,

I am an old ship at the bottom of the sea,

lost, abandoned, but full of memories.

A Whisper on the Wind
By Phyllis Babcock
I was a gentle whisper upon the wind
That swept over the green valleys
I climbed the height of the highest mountain
And murmured softly as I descended the
slopes
I picked up speed and started moving swiftly
Over the plateau and the sun swept plains
I picked up speed and started to howl
Whistling around corners and pushing gust
after gust
Bending the trees till they touched the earth
I reached the open water and the lapping
waves became huge swells
Higher and higher went the waves until the
white caps hit the shore
I took the rain and pelted it against the earth
Harder and harder as if in an angry rage
Then I blew my self out on the open ocean
waves
Exhausted, I once again became a whisper
on the wind
Hyperbole
Dragon Eyes
By Emile Pinet
She enters the room like a storm
thunder rumbling within her wake.
And a deluge of tears follow
as the very ground seems to quake.
She’s an explosion of fireworks
as spectacular as the dawn.
And unleashing flames of fury
in a blinding flash, she is gone.
A lady to be reckoned with
fire flares in her dragon eyes.
And strikes fear in the hearts of men
exposing their secrets and lies.
A source of fiery energy
her eyes illuminate the night.
And her aura intensifies
to a glow of exquisite light.
