Metaphors Aren’t Similes
Metaphors aren’t similes,
But they are like similes.
For example, a sunset is a painting in the sky,
But it’s also like a painting in the sky.
Your dog is family,
Or your dog is like family.
War is hell,
But war resembles hell.
I know what you’re thinking:
This example is silliness personified,
Or it’s like silliness personified.
Are you annoyed yet,
Or are you, like, annoyed yet?
