Analogies That Make You Say "Hmm..."

 

  • The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't
  • After sending in my entries for the Style Invitational, I feel relieved and apprehensive, like a little boy who has just wet his bed.
  • Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man
  • Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
  • The moon looked like a discarded toenail clipping submersed in a puddle of saliva on a black Formica countertop
  • She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again
  • The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can
  • We are all like those little pink and blue plastic people in the game of Life.
