Sam - similes

The sun glowed red like a bulbous pimple that was ready to burst forth.

The sun's rays pierced the rain cloud like search lights on a darkened night.

The colour of the bark of the tree was grey and faded like an overworn outfit.

The tree dropped its fruits to the ground as a person who, exhausted from holding a heavy object would discard their load.

  1. A nice poetic touch to each of these similes Sam, I enjoyed every one. PETER

  2. I liked the idea of the tree as a sort of confederate soldier - a nice touch. Your two tree similes have a careworn, defeated air (which I mean in the nicest way). I liked the 'bulbous pimple' and personally would probably amputate the 'that was ready to burst forth' since we could probably infer that by its bulbousness. Good work.
