Bright as day, as light as play

As quiet as a _ _ _ _ _ , as big as a _ _ _ _ _

All I wanna be is everything

All I wanna be, oh
All I wanna be is everything
B Everything at once

Everything at once, oh oh oh

As deep as a bite, as dark as the night

Everything at once

As sweet as a song, as right as a _ _ _ _ _
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
4 As warm as the _ _ _ , as silly as _ _ _

Poetic devices

Poetic devices are the things that make poems and songs different from normal writing. Here are some of
them:
Indirect “like”, “as”
e.g. His car is as big as a whale.

Repetition of final sound (usually across lines)
e.g. Don’t let rhymes give you a fright
They are really easy things to write

Direct “is”
e.g. My girlfriend is sunshine.

Making non-human things human
e.g. Night tiptoed into the forest.

Write your own similes

By using similes like the song “Everywhere at Once”, describe your favorite thing. Write TWO similes in
the form of “as (adj.) as (n.)”.

My favourite thing is
