Answer 1

My heart is a simple daisy
Sweetly smelling but smell if you dare
Pluck me out of the ground
Gently for i am most fair
Don`t sniff hard because i shall shrink
My life is the stem so don`t cut it away
Put me in a jar so i won`t wither
Make it comfatable down as i lay
Don`t break me apart
or i shall be lost
like the crumbs of your apple tart
so be careful what u do...i will not be seen again

Answer 2

Don't mourn the passing of the night,

eternal it was, and it will be again

as night wind gently leaves

the stage, not in retreat

but in respectful deference

bowing low, arms spread awide

as from the hills, the distant hills

dawn's own sweet lady stirs and beckons,

sleepy still she is,

her touch is light and intermittent

and you smell forests on her breath

the silent mists she swirls

they dance for her and reach up high

and raised by her, they smile and greet

the sky above now softly shading

into more than misty grey.

Answer 3

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day ..?
To start with, here is probably the most famous example of metaphor poetry in the English language, namely Sonnet 18 by "William Shakespeare" whoever that may have been:

Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day
Sonnet 18
William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.

But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Hey Little Butterfly
© By Licia Chenoweth

Hey little butterfly, where'd you come from?
Dancin' in the meadow playing in the sun!

Hoverin' over flowers in the warm summer breeze
Silently making music with your wings as they tease.

Flitting high, flitting low,
through the garden gates you go
Until the perfect flower comes
to make your day in the sun

Free to linger, free to fly,
Free to mingle with the sky,
never showing you are shy
Just free to be a butterfly!

Hey little child, what do you know?
Before I could be free, I had to learn to grow

A wee little caterpillar with fur upon my back
The smallest little rock would seem a mighty stack

Crawling high, crawling low
Through the tallest weeds I'd go
Until I reached the next plateau
Safe and sound from the world below

Then my task had begun
Spinning my cocoon was work not fun.
Patiently forming in the sun
Until my silken pad was done.

Hey little butterfly, how'd you break free
Bound in your cocoon on a branch of a tree?

Well little child, in time I grew
My wings formed around me as my life became new
Changing from a caterpillar was work that's true
But when I emerged away I flew

Answer 5

Oh goodness way back when I was in grade school the poem they used to teach us what a metaphor was was The Highwayman:

Answer 7

Here's a verse about love from the song "The water is wide":
For love is handsome
and love is fine
and like a jewel
when it's new.
But love grows old
and then grows cold
and fades away
like morning dew.

Answer 8

There's an old Linda Ronstadt song, "Love is a Rose". You can google the lyrics, but I always remember that one because it reminds me of a medieval poem which has a simile - "My love is like a red, red rose."

For what it's worth.
