It makes more sense when you try it, so try it! Here’s a few samples from Ms. Berotti:
I am a student, staring at her assignment like a cow outside a new gate.
(okay, but it’s actually not so much a metaphor, though it does have a simile… try again:)

ReplyDeleteI am a piece of glass, shattering as it strikes the ground
ReplyDeleteLike the splintered hips of an old man.

ReplyDeleteI am a pacifier, soothing frantic cries
ReplyDeleteLike an inspirational quote below a boss's email signature.
I am sunshine, smiling at the world
ReplyDeleteLike fall days outside a foggy window
I am a teenager, playing in the heartland of Dixie.
ReplyDeleteLike a cowgirl on a white horse.

ReplyDeleteI am a poster, staring at the wall
like a window on a sunny day
I am a question mark, wondering what to do next
ReplyDeletelike a person who has no one to sit with at lunch
I am a ribbon, tying things neatly in place.
ReplyDeleteLike the person who wraps all the Christmas presents twice.
I am leafless branch, shivering in the cold
ReplyDeleteLike a dog with no fur.
Mine:
ReplyDeleteI am a music note, floating on the wind
Like a leaf in the brisk breeze.
I am a lacrosse stick, catching the whispers around me
Like a tape recorder under the table.
Booey:
I am a senior, stressing about deadlines,
Like Santa who needs magic to fly the world in 1 night.
I am a wind vane, waiting to be turned in the direction I should go,
ReplyDeletelike a fork in the winding road of life.
I am a record, spinning
ReplyDeleteLike the world on it's crooked axis
I am a teacher, hunting for exposed legs and backless Chacos, Like a panther stalking prey in the jungle.
ReplyDeleteI am a mushy cookie Pulled from the oven prematurely awaiting my chance to enter the real world again.

I am a pair of scissors, cutting away my seams
ReplyDeletelike stitches from a healing wound
