simile and metaphor
by Angela Thomas-Tired as hands that finished copying the illiad.
-Hot as a mint melted into the sidewalk by the Florida sun in July.
-Waves unfurled like a cat's silk coat under a scratching hand.
-After the shelling, the town looked as if it had been a sweater picked over by an attentive mother.
-Disgusting as the crud that accumulates in the elbow of the sidewalk.
-The child trembled like my hand above her head.
-The airplane rose like a man's hair with his hand on a van de graaf.
-Black as the pupils of her glaring eyes.
-He entered the room like a sinner enters a confessional.
-Their love making was like a hedonistic modern dance on the sheets.
