A metaphor is when you say that something is something else. Below are some examples from poems that children in this school have written. Click on them to see the whole poem.
The sheep is my bed cover, as warm as ever
The eagle is an aiming missile, shimmering in the sun
A rabbit's ears are little fairy wings that have been lost
The crab is a dancing pair of scissors cutting up water
The spider has a fat moon body and legs of dangling string
