Willow and Ginkgo

By Eve Merriam

The willow is like an etching,

Fine-lined against the sky.
The ginkgo is like a crude sketch,
Hardly worthy to be signed.
The willow’s music is like a soprano,
Delicate and thin.
The ginkgo’s tune is like a chorus
With everyone joining in

Wind Is a Cat

Wind is a cat
That prowls at night,
Now in a valley,
Now on a height,

Pouncing on houses
Till folks in their beds
Draw all the covers
Over their heads.

by Ethel Fuller

Ask: 1. What is being described in the 1 st poem?

2.To what object is willow being compared with? How about Ginko?
3. What expressions were used to show the comparison?
4.How about in the second poem “Wind is a Cat, what are being compared?How is the comparison
expressed?

Say: Both similes and metaphors are literary techniques used to compare two different things; however,
they do so differently. A simile is a comparison that uses "like" or "as" in the comparison. A metaphor is a
comparison that says something is something else

5. Guided Practice

Pair-Share
Decide whether each sentence contains a simile or a metaphor. Write the word SIMILE if the sentence
contains a simile. Write the word METAPHOR if the sentence contains a metaphor.

1. The baby was like an octopus, grabbing at all the cans on the grocery store shelves.
2. As the teacher entered the room she muttered under her breath, "This class is like a three-ring
circus!"
3. The giant’s steps were thunder as he ran toward Jack.
4. The pillow was a cloud when I put my head upon it after a long day.
5. I feel like a limp dishrag

E. Independent Practice:
Write S if the sentence contains simile or M if it contains metaphor

1. Those girls are like two peas in a pod.

2. The fluorescent light was the sun during our test.
3. No one invites Harold to parties because he’s a wet blanket.
4. The bar of soap was a slippery eel during the dog’s bath.
5. Ted was as nervous as a cat with a long tail in a room full of rocking chairs
F. Closure: Ask: What is simile? What is Metaphor?

Analyze the sound devices used in the sentences. Write S for Simile and M for Metaphor.

1. Her hair is as black as midnight.

2. You are my knight in shining armour.
3. Donna is like an angel.
