Doris Culverhouse Poet Light Verse

The Mind of An Eleven Year Old Boy

Mom, today we studied simile
   What is simile? 
A sentence that uses like or as to compare two things

Like a green car riding on the road is like a running vine?

Or  A red car riding on the road is like a running red rose?

Yeah mom just like that!! woohoo!

Christi Monte October 4, 2010 at 9:04 PM To compare two or more things, we find a picture, our truth, but no universally valid, my dear. Thank you, Doris, for the moment of thought.
