  1. The thief walks towards me gingerly, light on his feet like a lion.
    He tightly held the bag of money in hand, his nails were sharp as claws.
    Green eyes brighter than ever, his sharp teeth bared.
    He surveys me like a lion observes its prey,
    His knees were bent and he was ready to pounce.

  2. The entire game she had her eyes on me, demon eyes
    I could not look away, her eyes were like a witches cat
    Green, witch like eyes, I was under her microscope, wanting to get out
    Her glare was like being stuck in quick sand, slow but inevitable.

  3. I stared deeply into his eyes, as blue as the ocean;
    the sentiment within them equally deep.
    Just as the ocean's restless waves move to and fro
    in an eternal dance, his eyes displayed great distress
    and his pupils moved to and fro between my eyes and
    the blood running down my face.

  4. Like a demon of desire,
    so flaming that no libation can cool,
    so athirst that no nourishment can satisfy,
    is the great Hot Cheeto, that when finished, you crave only for more.

  5. As a little girl might run back and forth,
    on a hot sunny summer day,
    in the middle of the big city with her friends
    -the man was sprinting for his life,
    screaming hysterically while tripping over people,
    trying to get out of the burning apartment building.

  6. Like a planet becoming a supernova,
    in the flash of hot air,
    the whole planet expanding with heat,
    the vegetation shriveling,
    that is the heat of Houston's drought.

  7. It rolled down the slick rocks, steeping down into a clear pool of water
    Like a water fall would let its water thunder down,
    The large, thick clouds rolled in,
    storming and crying sheets of rain

  8. As a swift cheetah chases its prey
    The heat of the Savannah rolling up from the ground in waves
    The air charged with a sense of urgency
    So the girl raced down the track

  9. The heat and humidity make the air thick as syrup and hard to breathe,
    I drink the ice cold water like a glacier running down my throat,
    Butterflies in my stomach i feel like a little girl again,
    Jumping into the air i feel like a bird in flight and before i know it,
    it is game time.

  10. As a raindrop falls in a terrible storm
    On a warm summer evening
    Pulled to the earth by an invisible force
    She fell to the ground

  11. He tells me to look him in the eye
    His pupil is dark and mysterious like a black hole
    He has always told me he had green eyes
    but as I quest further I recognize yellow rays extending from his pupil like a sunflower
    The yellow rays blend into a grey teal color like the ocean after a rainstorm
    Near the cornea all colors branch together like a ball of electricity feeding of the dark pupil

  12. With her sparkling leotard
    She gracefully glides across the ice
    Like a beautiful white swan
    Swims in the enchanting moonlight.

  13. The fire burns
    It's flames move randomly
    changing spontaneously
    like a person's emotions
    changing at a blink of an eye.

  14. Like the blink of an eye,
    Life flashes by
    Time passes
    Always moving on
    Moments gone before you know it

  15. It walked to him like the last time he was going to use his legs. like very inch hurt him more and more. It slowly approached, and when his face came into the light and we all clapped for him as if he were a hero.

  16. The Hershey's kiss was wrapped in shiny tinfoil,
    glistening in the light of my nightstand,
    like a thousand shards of glass broken beneath the sun,
    melting under it's intense rays,
    the gooey goodness spreading throughout my body-
    it was love in first bite.

  17. Her voice, unique and pure, rang through the room,
    filling every inch of space with her sound;
    goosebumps crawled up my spine as chilling as a winter's breeze, cold enough that you see your breath in the icy air.

  18. He skillfully pressed the black and white keys,
    his hands flowing up and down the piano like a river.
    And it sounded like the crash of rapids against rocks
    each time he dramatically played another chord.

  19. As strong as a knockout punch, the waves pounded against the ship
    causing it to scatter into pieces in the ocean.
    He tried so hard to get to shore in hope of help from these devastating body blows,
    but in the end the he succumbed to the almighty sea-lord and his body was deceased.

  21. The sun’s heat beat down on him
    As he began to sweat, he felt like he was glass
    Melting in an inferno,
    While the heat of the flames turned him into a scorching,
    Thick liquid

  22. As heavy as a sumo reseller
    the weight of the object pressed down on the men
    flattening them
    as flat as a pancake

  23. His head could reach the stars
    Birds crash into him
    He dwarfs the biggest of men
    He stands over seven feet tall

  24. The thunder as long as a gun shot
    roared through the sky like a spaceship.
    The lightning as bright as the sun
    shone through the sky like a flashlight
