Discuss with your partner and pick out the similes used in the poem. Which one do you like the most? Why?
Solution
Similes used in this poem are :

- ‘Fly as thick as driving rain’
I like the second one the most because the poet says all the sights of hills and plains fly as quickly as a drop of rain following another drop in a storm.
