2. Poetic Devices - Similes and Metaphors

We have studied a number of war poems now and you lot are brilliant at analysing and explaing poetic devices.  I wonder if you can make your own poetic devices up though?

I challenge you to write a simile or a metaphor to describe the picture below.

Simile - a figure of speech that directly compares two different things, usually by employing the words "like" or "as".

Metaphor -  when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison.
