FlintAn emerald is as green as grass, A ruby is as

red as blood; A sapphire shines as blue as heaven; A flint lies in the mud. A diamond is a brilliant stone, To catch the world’s desire; An opal holds a fiery spark; But a flint holds a fire.

Christina Rossetti

Simile- Comparing a emerald to grass

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day

  

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate.Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.

But thy eternal summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Metaphor- It does not have like or as in the sentence

Grandparents Are GrandGrandparents are grand!

GrandMa or GrandPa.Nana, Nona, or Nammy.PopPop, PaPa, or Poppy.Warm welcomes.Happy hugs, holding hearts.Love, Love, Love.Kids, crafts, cooking.Grandparents lending life’s lessons.Many momentous moments.Amazingly awesome!

Alliteration- It is a Tongue Twister

Two Sunflowers Move in the Yellow RoomTwo Sunflowers

Move in the Yellow Room."Ah, William, we're weary of weather,"

said the sunflowers, shining with dew."Our traveling habits have tired us.Can you give us a room with a view?"

They arranged themselves at the windowand counted the steps of the sun,and they both took root in the carpetwhere the topaz tortoises run.

Hyperbole- It’s is shining with dew

RainThe rain is falling all around, 

           It falls on field and tree, It rains on the umbrellas here,            And on the ships at sea.

Repetition- It is repeating the word rain
