Metaphors and Similes

A long braid of hair - The braid was a rope of happiness. Metaphor

An old woman's hand - The woman's hands were a scarred and wrinkled story of her life. Metaphor

The smell of a coming rainstorm - The air smelled like a party waiting to happen with all of creation holding it's breath. Simile

A Corvette - The smooth and shining sides sparkled like the sun. Simile

A cat's tongue - The rough, pink tongue of a cat is like a built in comb. Simile

The sound of a chainsaw - The chainsaw was a lion purring. Metaphor

Fish eyes - Wells to nothingness. Metaphor

Fire - The red, orange and yellow looked like a forest at sunset undulating rapidly. Simile

Morning mist - The mist was a white blanket. Metaphor

Umbrellas in a crowd opening all at once - The umbrellas looked like sunflowers searching for the sun. Simile
