symbols, and ideas in such a way
as to evoke mental images
I am hungry as a horse.
You run like a rabbit.
He is sneaky as a snake.
She is happy as a clam.
The girl was a fish in the water.
The clown was a feather floating away.
The flowers danced in the wind.
The Earth coughed and choked in all of the
pollution.
The friendly gates welcomed
us.
A figure of speech
that uses
exaggeration to
create special
effect.
I caught a ton of fish
today!!!
Running the Bobcat
Mile kills me!!!
Stan the strong surfer saved several
swimmers on Saturday.
Tiny Tommy Thomson takes toy
trucks to Timmy’s on Tuesday.
Chug chug chug!!

Since Hannah Moved Away
by Judith Viorst
The tires on my bike are flat.
The sky is grouchy gray.
At least it sure feels like that
Since Hanna moved away.
Chocolate ice cream tastes like prunes.
December's come to stay.
They've taken back the Mays and Junes
Since Hanna moved away.
Flowers smell like halibut.
Velvet feels like hay.
Every handsome dog's a mutt
Since Hanna moved away.
Nothing's fun to laugh about.
Nothing's fun to play.
They call me, but I won't come out
Since Hanna moved away.
