A figure of speech
Made as bold as brass.
With comparisons made vivid,
Such as green as grass.
–
As free as a bird,
As clear as a bell,
As fresh as a daisy,
As hot as hell.
–
As good as gold,
As pale as a ghost,
As dry as a bone,
As deaf as a post.
–
As blind as a bat,
As drunk as a lord,
As brave as a lion,
As stiff as a board.
–
As clear as mud,
As large as life,
As common as dirt,
As sharp as a knife.
–
As bald as a coot,
As blue as the sea,
As gentle as a lamb,
As busy as a bee.
–
As clear as crystal,
As light as a feather,
As cunning as a fox,
As changeable as the weather.
–
As cold as ice,
As big as a house,
As bright as a button,
As quiet as a mouse.
Similes aplenty,
They crystalize,
By using strange couplings
To emphasise!
