Figures of Speech...of the day...

One of the ways to convey your thoughts in a more meaningful way is to add a spoonful of expressions commonly called "Similes" and "Metaphors".

Similes are direct comparisons between two things having some qualities in common, while Metaphors are indirect or implied comparisons.

Similes of the day...

-
as active as quicksilver
-
as afraid as a grasshopper
- as ageless as the sun
- as agile as a cat (a monkey)

Metaphors of the day...

-
a treacherous calm
-
a sullen sky
-
a frowning rock
-
a cruel heart
