L.I. - The use of simile and metaphor in a poem
Read the poem
Complete these sentences:
A simile is… rhetorical figure expressing comparison or likeness that directly compares two things through some connective word . √
A metaphor is...a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that is used in a sentence about another object √
Identify the simile - like a silver typhoon √
Identify the metaphor - Marshmallow floating ,chocolate sea, pink debris √
Think of an everyday object that has some moving parts e.g. a clock
ballpoint pen
Write your own poem describing the object using a mixture of simile and metaphor.
Keep it simple and short.
The ballpoint pen rolls around as fast as a bowling ball
It slowly searches in desperation for more ink
As it runs out it becomes blurry
The writer becomes frustrated,
The pen just lies there
exhaustion has taken over the pens abilities
as fast a speeding rocket.
