"I am as creative as an artist" Figurative Language at Dulles

“I am as creative as an artist” Figurative Language at Dulles

In Mr. Bridges’ Poetry Specials, we talked about using similes and metaphors to make comparisons in our poems. For examples, we read through translations of Issa and Buson’s haiku, and Francisco X. Alarcon’s On Monday I Feel Like a Dragon. We wrote poems about ourselves and what we’re like, and then wrote poems about our loved ones using figurative language. Check out some of our pieces below:

I Can Take Advice Santana P.

I’m lazy like a sloth

I’m brave like a bear

I be taking people advice like

a game that I can beat

I am as brave as a bear. I have

nothing to fear

I am as creative as a artist.

I like to draw things

I am as early as a bird. I
