Simile Poetry at Home

Simile poetry can help you reflect on how you feel and your emotions. As well as helping you to practice self-acceptance and self-compassion. Additionally, it can help you to express yourself without criticizing yourself. Nonetheless, simile poetry can be useful for clarity and for self-reflection. Today, I am sharing two simile poems that I wrote about comparing love to nature and another poem about friendship to nature.

Writing simile poetry at home can be fun and can help you feel creative. Simile poems use the words " like "and "as" to describe emotions, feelings, or your thoughts. This writing style can also help improve your imagination and can make you understand difficult subjects. Begin by comparing two things and expressing your inner self. Below is an example of a simile poem that I created about love. 

 

 

Write simile poetry with your children and write in your journal. Use as many descriptive words as possible and write sentences separately. Then, put the sentences together to make your simile poems. Practice writing similes at home and read phrases with similes to help you write simile poetry. Use pictures to help you describe what you want to write in your poems.

Select words from books to motivate you to write comparisons of two things. Another way is by listening to a television show and writing down the words that you hear. Then, write your simile poems using the words that you have written in your notebook. Sit in your garden and write similes as you sit quietly. Simile poems can be written in short or in a longer length. 

Draft your poetry and cross out the words you do not want to use in your poems. Read your poem aloud. Also, hear the mood and the tone of how you write your poems. Prepare several versions of your simile poems. Finalize your poetry with self-reflection or how you feel about the topic which you are writing. 

You can make a list of words that you want to use for your simile poetry. Also, write two things that you want to compare. It can have a theme, but you can write what inspires you. Practicing simile poetry can also help you with self-discovery. Here are resources for writing your simile poetry.
