Nature is like a relaxing summer day.

Similies are comparisons using the words like or as. I gave you an example but don't copy it... I did it to help you. You need to try it on your own now. =)

Waterfall roaring -
though the sparrow sings unheard,
still he keeps singing



is an observation that captures something important about the spirit of sparrows, and, by extension, all creatures, especially poets! It is a small variation on the theme of Hardy's The Darkling Thrush and Isaac Bashevis Singer's Cockadoodledo. It addresses the true subject of poetry: the indomitable life-force, its energy and abundance. When the observation of a sparrow does that, it is not that the sparrow ceases to be the real subject of the poem. It is not replaced by metaphor. It would not be true to say that the poem is really about the spirit of a poet rather than about a sparrow. Unquestionably, the sparrow is the subject, and the primary, concrete meaning of the poem. But because the observation of the sparrow has, in this instance, caught something universal, with a parallel in the human realm, the poem is more than a "So What?" recorded fact. It takes on symbolic power and is invested by the reader with a wider significance.

A simile is a comparison that uses the word "like" or "as" -examples: The stars in the midnight sky were shining like diamonds. The dolphins swam free as a wave.
