The Metaphor/Simile Game

Okay, I thought about this last night whilst I was drifting to sleep. Here's the rules:

The game starts off with a random word, then the following poster has to use that word as a subject to a simile or a metaphor.

Example:

The word is TREE.

The tree was as rigid as a broomstick. (simile)
The tree is a rigid broomstick. (metaphor)

either/or,

The broomstick was as rigid as a tree. (simile)
The broomstick is a rigid tree. (metaphor)

Obviously they don't have to be that simple, and can be as elaborate as you like. It may sound confusing, but it's really not.:tongue:

______________________________________________

The word is SKY.

The sky radiates from the crook of my window; beaming across my room like the spotlight of a distant helicopter reassuring me of their existence.

Next word = Field

 

The field swaggers its wheat back and forth in the wind like an unusually dextrous heading home from a country pub.

=================================

Next: concrete

 

the concrete sails through the air, into the distance, and knocks out a riot pig like a glorious revolutionary living sculpture symbolising hope that our freedom may be won !

next word
cloud

 

Like the delicate and fragile descent of a silk handkerchief, dropped from the last strand of a velvet cloud.

Next: Dog

 

the dogs tail smiled

 

That's more like a personificiation than a metaphor or simile...But I'll give you it!

Next word?

 

Nice try, but no cigar.

EDIT: Look at me failing to quote.

I guess if no-one else says one:

CIGAR

 

The word is CIGAR.

Life is like a cigar, a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobacco, one end of which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth through the other end.

Next word=Pneumatic drill, or jackhammer for the one word purists.

 

That's not so much a simile as a description of what you do with a cigar. JUST LIKE A PNEUMATIC DRILL OR JACKHAMMER.

The jackhammer pounded against the bare, unyielding ground like a frustrated teenage self-abuser staring frenziedly at a Sears catalogue while keeping an anxious eye on his bedroom door.


The word is: bacon.

 

bacon moist and glistening like my favourite bit of a woman, salty too

next word is


eel

 

The word is EEL.

The eel slithered towards it's target which it longed to both work itself inside of and live there for ever(safe, warm and moist), and to consoume, overtaken by passion, hunger and curiousity, driven entirely by the instinct which was telling it to swim onwards through the sea of fluids, through the greasy discharges of that nice piece of bacon. It was salty too...

Next word=Television.

 

The telivision was dumped like an ousted politician at an election. The computer does the same job and more

next word

cocaine

 

the eel squirmed ,like a man shaking his penis after peeing

 

erm missed one out, forgot to put in another word and then just went for a cheap laugh like a tart in picture postcard hmmmph

ok so start from the word

cocaine

 

The cocaine was amusing for a short while, but overall it was something that had since become long overgrown, a bit like a Take That comeback.

Next word: "schaddenfreude".

 

Hahahaha!

 

deleted (a bit rude)

 

hahahaha, he laughed like a car spluttering to a halt

next word
Pastry

 

The tortoise was pastry on legs to the dog who enthusiastically bounded after it.



apple

 

Hey whatever happened to L.A.Matthews
