Poetry Terms: SIMILE

SIMILE:

Definition: A figure of speech in which two unlike things are compared by comparing words such as like, as or more than.  


Example:
Playing the piano is like
A bird soaring in the
Sky.
When you play the keys it is like
Flying your fingers across the
Piano.
The notes are like
Clouds drifting through the sky.


Significance: The importance of simile that compared two unlike things, to help the audience to understand the poem easier and simile also helps the audience feel fun to read each stanza.
