WARNING:
(1) A rookie mistake that beginning writers often make:they'll draw a relationship between two unlike things and
move on, daring us to take them at their word(s):
"love is like a faucet
The simile needs a qualifying phrase or a parallel idea.
"love is like a faucet / it turns off and on
Billie Holliday
(2) Oftentimes, a simile is bad because it compares
something we might be able to visualize with something
we might not be able to visualize.

Dreams Deferred
by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

To His Coy Mistress
By Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;

Fog
by Carl Sandburg
The FOG comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,
The shrill, dementedchoirs of wailing shells;
And bugles7calling for them from sad shires
From Anthem for Doomed YouthWilfred Owen

Sonnet 16 by ShakespeareShall I compare thee to a summers day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summers lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 5
And often is his gold complexion dimmd;And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or natures changing course untrimmd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; 10Nor shall Death brag thou wanderst in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
