=Simile: Snow and Rain =

Drip. Drop. The water plops, Onto the ground Hard pavement, black like stormy seas Looking out the foggy window, Lighting flashes like the bright lights of New York City. Shadowed, by dark, rolling clouds

Snow, beautiful like the stars White, fluffy, soft in my hands Cold and comforting, like ice cream in the summer Melting away, slowly

Water flowing on road Streaming down the street, Green leaves of the springtime <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A passing car sprays through the road <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Splashing me if I was walking that way <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The grass, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Looks muddy, like a rain forest.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The rain pats on the ground, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Like a soft drum beat <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The snow blanketing on the roads, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Like a little wrapped up baby.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Snow is beautiful, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Rain is powerful, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And life needs rain.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Barely two feet tall, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A dinosaur, really really small <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Saltopus is a handful of sand, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Hard and rough in my hand <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">He walks smoothly along in the desert <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Old, incompletely found <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Saltopus is a jumping lizard <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">He has a simple run, quick and all around <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Chewing on some insects, tiny animals <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Tiny, miniature little dinosaur <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To a Spinosaurus, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Saltopus is a baby.

=<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Personification: Wind =

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Stroll out your front door, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The wind whispers in your ear <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The breeze shivers through your body <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Cold, bitter air <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Wrap your arms around yourself, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Tight, warm

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The wind tingles on your skin <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Walk along the snowy road <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Feel the breeze on your face <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The wind howls, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You hear it whisper again

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Forcing your way through the street <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I'm freezing, you think. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The wind bellows at you, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To walk faster, he's catching up, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You hurry along and you stop suddenly <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Listen-

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The wind is smiling. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And so are you :).

=<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Alliteration: Sun = <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The blood red circle descends lower An orange orb Surrendering silently into the night Slowly waving goodbye

Bright, burning heat Blazing, hot humid air in the street Rising, rippling rays At seven in the morning

The end of the day, Bright, burning rays start to fade Again, like yesterday Slowly sinking into the distance

Surrendering silently into the night Once again, like always, It fades into the night, Slowly waving goodbye
