Question
Form groups of 6-8. Think of similes using different objects, for example,
- Dry as land
- Wet as a puddle.
Now try to put together the similes to make a poem with rhyming lines.
Solution
In a world where simple things can be found,
Here's a tale in similes, round and round:
As dry as the land, under the sun's rays,
As wet as a puddle after a rainy day.
As slow as a snail, creeping on its way,
As fast as a rabbit, in fields, it plays.
As hot as a fire, burning so bright,
As cold as ice, in the still of the night.
As light as a feather, floating in the air,
As heavy as rocks, here and there.
Like leaves in the wind, dancing with ease,
As still as a lake, without a breeze.
In our world of similes, simple and true,
We find joy in the old and the new.
