sure... similies are anything comparing two things, using the words "Like" or "as"... metaphors is when you attribute characteristics of something to something completely different... or comparing two things that are completely different without using the words "as" or "like"... here:
SIMILIES:
1. Bulit like a tank
2. Quiet as a mouse
3. Still as a grave
4. Smooth as a baby's bottom
5. Hard as a rock
METAPHOR
1. raining cats and dogs
2. table legs
3. minds eye
4. play by ear
5. flashing a smile
hope that helps... there's websites where you can find other examples, i'm pretty sure... at least there should be... good luck with it.

You look like a cow
You're a cow
Your as smart as an ox
You're an ox
Just take out the as or like and you have turned the simile into a metaphor
