Simile

Simile- In a Simile a comparison is made between two objects of different kinds
which have however at least one point in common.

The Simile is usually introduced by such words as like, as or so. Examples:-
1. The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold.
2. The righteous shall flourish as the palm tree.
3. As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
4. Words are like leaves: and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.
5. How far that little candle throws his beams !
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
6. Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
7. Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart:
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea.
8. O my Love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Love's like the melodie.
That's sweetly played in tune.
Note:- A comparison of two things of the same kind is not a Simile
