Simile is Like Life: 2010

7/10/10

water

is hung like tinsel from the fingers
of Mother Nature in the Kickapoo.

7/7/10

7/6/10

summer...

feels like that first, ascending step into daylight.

7/5/10

7/2/10

happiness...

feels as smooth as a dream
painted across your face.

love...

is like becoming the backbone for someone else.

2/13/10

pride...

is like a secret hug with yourself.

(He wrote the date, by himself.
Teacher's proud too!)

1/19/10

music...

is like the frail blooming and fading of summer,
of every season making the cycle complete.

Why similes?

I like similes because they are like suggestions: friendly, changing, warm. Many ideas can have one simile. One idea can have many similies...

Metaphors on the other hand...Water is a mirror. Deal with it.
You are filtered water. No one else is.

There is one thing I would also like to suggest: You should find an entry you like, then comment by finishing the word with a different simile. Notice the labels on each entry. Click them and you may find other poems, lies, or puzzles on the same word.
