a comparison of two things using like or
asHis feet are as big as boats.
His feet are like boats.
WARNING:
(1) A rookie mistake that beginning writers often make: they'll draw a relationship between two unlike things and move on, daring us to take them at their word(s):
"love is like a faucet”
The simile needs a qualifying phrase or a parallel idea. "love is like a faucet / it turns off and on”
Billie Holliday
(2) Oftentimes, a simile is bad because it compares something we might be able to visualize with something we might not be able to visualize.
“Dreams Deferred”by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?Does it dry upLike a raisin in the sun?Or fester like a sore--And then run?Does it stink like rotten meat?Or crust and sugar over--like a syrupy sweet?Maybe it just sagslike a heavy load.Or does it explode?

“To His Coy Mistress”By Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, Lady, were no crime. We would sit down and think which way To walk and pass our long love's day.…My vegetable love should growVaster than empires, and more slow;An hundred years should go to praiseThine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;…

“The Great Figure”William Carlos Williams
Among the rain and lights I saw the figure 5 in gold on a red firetruck moving tense unheeded to gong clangs siren howls and wheels rumbling through the dark city.
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,
–The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles7 calling for them from sad shires…

Sonnet 16 by ShakespeareShall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, 5And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; 10Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
