JOSIE'S POEMS
S i m i l e s
By Josie Whitehead
Use similes to enhance your writing
Similes: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion ). While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things.
C H A N G E
(A Simile Poem)
By Josie Whitehead
CHANGE – regenerating, like the four seasons of nature;
Transforming our world with growth and restfulness.
​
CHANGE - disruptive, like the road junction that tells us
To change direction along our path of life.
​
CHANGE – heartless, like the flowing stream of life
That carries us on its tide from birth to death .
​
CHANGE – ruthless, like the storms and hurricanes
Which smite our world with indifference.
​
CHANGE – immediate, like that very second in time
Which can reshape our world completely.
​
CHANGE – callous, like those harsh words you said
Which broke my heart like shattering glass.
​
CHANGE – sombre, like the day which stole my parents
And closed forever a love-window in my world.
​
CHANGE – guileful, like the gaming table
That deviously stole my money and my self-respect.
​
CHANGE – joyous, like that happy meeting
With the person who can change your life forever.
​
CHANGE - continuous, like the ebb and flow of ocean tides
Which kiss the shores of each continent of our world.
