Summers day

Today was
a day for kickball in the sweating street
a day for ice cream, soft and sweet.
Today was
like a warm hug from a dear old friend
like a toasty squeeze from start to end.
Today will be
a dream-bright, brilliant and green,
when tomorrow comes
and the dreaded day
turns brown and mean.

Identify one simile, one metaphor and one example of personification.

Simile: “Today was like a warm hug from a dear old friend.”
Metaphor: “Today will be a dream”
Personification: “…and the dreaded day turns brown and mean.”

Explanation: A simile is when the word “like” is used to compare two things. A metaphor is when two things are compared without the use of “like;” oftentimes they can be identified by the two things which are compared being unrelated. Personification is when human traits are applied to concepts, inanimate objects, etc.
