Simile/Metaphor Poem 1

Something Like Life

You fool me
Like the tortoise tricked the hare

Race you to the finish line
But you’re already there


Her heart is like sugar cane
Melting with moisture

His moisture
So sweet


Her teardrops fall
Like dew drops on tree leaves

Tears of joy
Peaceful and serene


An ultimatum in black and white
Like an old photograph

There’s no time to change
A moment trapped in time


Pages of a textbook
Like a death sentence

Words and numbers
Jumble in your brain
