Simile & Metaphor Poems

RHINOS by ZAC

Rhinos have very sharp horns

They are as strong as 50-metre brick walls

And as scary as giants

I think they like to have their own food.

They are as dirty as pigs at a sewerage farm

And as fast as a flash going round a corner

They eat like cheetahs running.

BUDGIES by EMILY M

Budgies are soft little birds

They’re as cuddly as a blanket

And as feathery as the inside of a pillow

I think they’re as small as a star.

They are as funny as silly clowns

And as cute as baby wombats

Yolanda’s bird is like a friend to me.

THE HOLDEN RACING TEAM by MITCHELL

The Holden Racing Team is my favourite

It’s like thunder in my throat

The engines roaring like my heartbeat

I think they rule the universe.

It’s being King of the Mountain

Conquering Ford’s performance

I like them like they’re the first cars on earth.

AUSSIES by CHARLIE

Aussies are not mossies

They’re as cool as a pair of sunnies

They are like a pack of fierce lions

I think they are lucky duckies.

They are like funny jokers

As strong as two rhinos

I hope they come first in the Olympics.

 BUTTERFLIES by CLAIR

Butterflies are as light as feathers

They are like paper bags floating in the air

And are as beautiful as dancing spirits

I think they are as small as stars in the sky.

Sometimes they are as blue as tear drops

I bet they love flowers swaying in the breeze

Butterflies are so cool!

FOOTBALL by BRENNAN

Football is hard fun

It is rougher than rugby

And better than soccer

I reckon it is a really good game.

It is as exciting as the Olympics

And as tiring as the Marathon

Football is the best game I have played.

MY NANA by NIKKI

My Nana spoils me

She is as sweet as a cherry

She is as big and soft as a teddy

I love her heaps.

She snores like a sleeping bear

She is like a tree in the breeze

She is the best Nana in the world.

KIWIS by LEITH

Kiwis live in the third coldest country

They are almost as cold as the South Pole

They would be like frozen ice blocks

I think they are cold statues.

They wear big smiles though

They are as big as the All Blacks

I wish I could live in New Zealand.
