EXAMPLES

Metaphor Poem Sunshine My friend is the sun Her voice kind and warm To me she shine’s brighter than all the other stars She’s always there for me, even at night when I can’t see her Her laugh warms me up, even on my worst days She always knows what to do, she is just so bright My friend is the sun
