'Poetry is first of all about feelings. Make a list of all the feelings you can think of and choose five that can be the starting points for a poem. Try making up five similes that compare the feeling to an object, an animal, or a person.'

Here are the feelings I got (the five that I chose have a star beside them)

*Hate- Hate is like a rock. It makes the heart hard.
love
*Anger- Anger is as frustrating as a hard math equation.
joy
*Jealousy- Jealousy is like an enemy. It encourages one to hate.
*Sadness
rejection
sympathy
gratitude
*Fear

Those are my similes for hate, anger, and jealousy. I still need one for sadness and fear.

Thanks

Nevermind I got one for sadness- Sadness is like an empty room, quiet and lonely

Sadness is like a cold, rainy day. The tears flow off and on like intermittent rain.

That's good..can you help me with fear please?

Thanks

Fear is a car's headlights reflected in the eyes of a deer.

Fear is a fog that obscures reality.

Thank you

You're welcome.

To come up with similes for sadness and fear, let's explore the feelings and think about objects, animals, or people that can be comparable to them. Remember, a simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using the words "like" or "as."

For sadness:

1. Sadness is like a raincloud. It showers tears upon the soul.
2. Sadness is as heavy as a boulder, weighing down the heart.
3. Sadness is like an old photograph, capturing moments of melancholy.
4. Sadness is as lonely as a wilted flower, longing for nourishment.
5. Sadness is like a broken compass, leading the path astray.

For fear:

1. Fear is like a shadow, lurking in the darkest corners of the mind.
2. Fear is as paralyzing as a venomous snakebite.
3. Fear is like a storm, thundering with doubts and trembling with anxiety.
4. Fear is as blinding as a pitch-black night, obscuring hope and reason.
5. Fear is like a maze, trapping the spirit within its suffocating walls.

Remember, these similes are just examples. Use them as inspiration to create your own unique similes based on your own experiences and imagination. Happy writing!
