Poets often use similes when writing poems.
Similes can also be used when writing a description.
  

Similes -a way of comparing one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more vivid- producing powerful feelings or strong, clear images in the mind.

   Complete the similes as effectively as you can.

Try to imagine the object in your mind or even Google images to help you make your description effective.

The moon glowed like a single headlight on a dark lonely road.

The moon glowed like a torch peering out from behind a curtain.

Raindrops dripped down the window pane like tears rolling down a baby's cheek.

Wildflowers dotted the landscape like . . . . . .

His stomach rumbled like . . . . . .

The soft breeze on her face was as gentle as . . . . . .
