"I wandered lonely like a cloud"

Her smile was as bright as the sun

The water was as cold as ice

He ran as fast as a cheetah

The wind whispered like a ghost

The world is a stage

Time is a thief

The classroom was a zoo

His words were a dagger in her heart

The city is a jungle

The trees danced in the wind

The sun smiled down on us

The flowers whispered secrets to each other

The car coughed and sputtered to a stop

The stars winked at me from the night sky

The thunder rumbled in the distance

The fire crackled and popped

The clock ticked loudly in the silent room

The car screeched to a halt

The bees buzzed around the flowers
