You can infer that this simile is relating to the time when he got beat up or someone hurt his feelings and he just couldn't cope with it so he basically fett lo the ground. Perhaps he couldn't stand up for himself in a figurative sense, or this could be literal. Another time the author uses a simile is on line 8 where he states “It rained down, like, PAIN!” (Dragons).

    The similes used also created a mysterious image of death. It referred death as a delicate bird, gardener and nurse that is the opposite of what people sees it.

    Janice Mirikitani uses similes in her poem to express desperation and hopelessness. In the first few lines, she says, “How many notes written… ink smeared like birdprints in the snow.” This is showing how the voice of the play has written letters to her parents, but after so many they just become a blur, meshing together until they are non-decipherable. In Hamlet, when the king is confessing his sins and praying, he states that he is “like a man to double business bound.” Here Shakespeare is showing how the king is torn between his feelings toward his brother and the allure of being a king. After this line, he says, “My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.” His guilt and his greed are causing stress like a man who is obligated to two forms of business with no idea where to start.…

    In his poem, Flames and Dangling Wire, the first line immediately sets the scene allowing us to have a sense of where we are. The use of a simile in “The smoke of different fires in a row, like fingers spread and dragged to smudge” implies the filthiness of the tip and the smoke rising from the fires. This also causes the air to “wobble”, implying that the horrid stench of the area is visibly seen forming clouds of polluted air to block the sun. He also uses the simile “The city, driven like stakes into the ground”. This shows the unnatural nature of the city with giant buildings artificially implanted into the ground, left there to stand and become eyesores to land that was once full of nature’s beauty.…

    The entire poem is driven by this desperate longing for renewal. The speaker seems to start with a request that illustrates his despondency simply because of its harshness. (He requests to have his heart battered.-ln 1) As he continues in prayer, the character becomes more distraught. He explains his feelings of total helplessness in the simile found in line five, where he compares himself to an usurped town. By line eleven he has professed his deep-rooted love for his God and his awareness that he will never be faithful to this love unless he is torn and broken and then made new.…

    In one of the pieces in “Ruminations”, the poet can smell violence in the air “like the lash of coming rain; and this feeling seems to the poet to be “poised like a cobra”. These are original similes; and these are followed by a series of metaphors based on serpent-behaviour. These are only a few of the examples. Actually Daruwalla’s poetry contains an abundance of similes and…
