  • Metaphors: Often describe one thing as another.​ HERE's more...
  • Idioms: Common sayings, which are part of a culture or history. Click HERE for more! And HERE for a new set!
  • Hyperboles: Really big exaggerations to make a point. Find even more of them HERE. And here's a hyperbole video that's fun.

Similes and Metaphors
By The Bazillions

©2013 All rights reserved.

Similes and metaphors are
similar but nothing more
than a comparison in different ways.
Similes use “like
” or “as,”
and metaphors need none of that.
They just say exactly what they want to say.
(Metaphor)
You really are the apple of my eye.
(Simile)
Hanging with you is as easy as pie.
(Metaphor)
You’ve got a smile that lights up a room.
(Simile)
Let’s stay together like the stars and the moon.
Chorus



​(Metaphor)
​Sometimes you’re hot, and then sometimes you’re cold.

(Simile)
Then again you can be good as gold.
(Metaphor)
Into each life a little rain must fall.
(Simile)
Don’t just sit there like a bump on a log!
Chorus
And if you understand and say it’s perfectly clear,
don’t you know that will be music to my ears.
(That’s another metaphor!)
(Yeah, now you’re getting it!)
Similes and metaphors are
similar but nothing more
