The toughest thing to try to write are similes and analogies:
Here are a few really weird ones from some high school kids.
*She had a deep,throaty,genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
*The little boat drifted gently across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
*The man fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Heftybag filled with vegetable soup.
*The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
*The young fighter had that hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for awhile.
*It was an American traditon, like fathers chasing their kids around with power tools.
*It hurt the way your tongue hurts when you accidently staple it to the wall.
*He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
*The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant.
*He spoke with the wisdom that comes from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking in high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
*His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without ClingFree.
Happy December 28th.......
