Being stood up is like
being the last fruit on the tree, Left to wither through the winter
Feeling angry is
like
carrying a volcano in the pit
of your stomach that threatens to erupt at any moment
The leaves fell from the tree like a thousand paratroopers
Leaping into battle behind enemy linesThe class was as boring as counting the perforations in a bag of PG tips!Slide10

A Simile poemBy
Stanley CookSlide12
Like the white curls from a gigantic beardDrifting across the barber’s shop floor
In the breeze from the open door;Like the broken parts of the ice floeAfloat on the blue of the ocean,
Drifting southward from the Pole;
Like a heavily laden treasure fleet
In a light wind on the calm sea,
Hardly moving with all sails set;Like suds of foam from the waterfallThat lathers the rocks at its foot,
Gliding over a tranquil pool;Like wool from a fleece,Like smoke from a fire,Like islands in the sky.Slide13

Afloat on the blue of the ocean,
Drifting southward from the Pole;Like a heavily laden treasure fleetIn a light wind on the calm sea,
Hardly moving with all sails set;Like suds of foam from the waterfallThat lathers the rocks at its foot,Gliding over a tranquil pool;
Like wool from a fleece,Like smoke from a fire,Like islands in the sky.Slide15
Name the Title - D.H. Lawrence
Like a glove, a black glove thrown up at the light,
And falling back
Wings
like
bits of umbrella
Hanging upside down like
rows of disgusting old rags And grinning in their sleepSlide16Slide17
Swallows with spools of dark thread sewing the shadows togetherSlide18

Who am I?An owl staring into the darkness,
A star fruit, bursting with juice.A dramatic orchestral movementAnd the sky just after a storm.
A swirling black cloak
And a whispered secret.Slide26Slide27Slide28

Lord Alfred Tennyson
The Eagle
HE clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,And like a thunderbolt he falls.Slide39

He who owns the whistle, rules the worldBy Roger McGough
January wind and the sun
Playing truant again.
Rain beginning to scratch
Its fingernails across
The blackboard skyIn the playgroundKids divebomb, corner
At Silverstone or execute Traitors. ArmedWith my Acme ThundererI step outside,Take a deep breathAnd bring the world
To a standstill.Slide49
The MoonBy Percy Shelley
AND, like a dying lady lean and pale,
Who totters forth, wrapp'd in a gauzy veil,
Out of her chamber, led by the insane
And feeble wanderings of her fading brain,
The moon arose up in the murky east,
A white and shapeless mass. Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth, And ever changing, like a joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy? Slide50
