My Simile

You are a figure of speech

Comparison you beseech

With one thing and another

Using like, as, or as though

To make things seem similar

You paint in the mind; an analogy

The artist painting an affinity

Every brush stroke shows the sameness

Is it congruence you display?

My painter showing the likeness

Go ahead paint dear simile

Will you paint this analogy?

As active as quicksilver

As barren as winter rain

As brilliant as a mirror

Go ahead paint dear simile

Will you paint this analogy?

As cruel as winter

As dismal as a hearse

As drunk as a beggar

Oh I beg dear simile

Will you paint this analogy?

As expensive as glory

As frigid as an iceberg

As friendly as a puppy

Explain what you want in colour

Analogy; minds you capture

As generous as a good dream

As healthy as a May morning

As harmonious as a hymn

Oh I beg dear simile

Will you paint this analogy?

As immaculate as angels

As joyous as an old housefly

As jubilant as old sleigh bells

Don’t you stop dear simile

Just paint this analogy

As keen as a razor

As liberal as the sun

As light as a feather

Paint with your brush dear simile

Each brush stroke your analogy

As mild as moonlight

As neat as a nail

As naked as night

Paint and paint dear simile

Paint with your analogy

As old as first generation

As plentiful as blackberries

As powerful as a lion

Paint as beautiful as the sunset

Paint dear simile without regret

As quick as lightning

As real as stars

As remote as a dream

Paint as radiant as a rainbow

Paint Oh dear simile high and low

As sharp as a razor

As tame as sheep

As tough as leather

Oh paint to be as good as gold

Your colours will never grow old

As ugly as a sin

As vigilant as stars

As violent as steam

Paint like Leonardo Da Vinci

Just paint like him, Oh dear simile

As wide as savannah

As yellow as saffron

As yellow as sulphur

You are a figure of speech

Comparison you unleash

With one thing and another

Using like, as, or as though

To make things seem similar
