Similes:
She has as much direction in life as a feather in a light breeze.

Barry walked like the kitchen floor was made of antique stained glass as he brought his mom his report card.

He was as happy as a Black Lab chasing a stick thrown down the beach.

She was as calm as the water’s surface on a bluebird-sky day (to a fisherman, a bluebird-sky day is marked by dead calm waters and high, piercing sun).

Marci was as determined as a Terrier down a rabbit hole.

Metaphors:
Her mind was an Indy track; her thoughts high-pitched whines speeding past.

His hands were an aspen’s leaves in a stiff breeze.

Her heart was a child’s watercolor, dropped in a puddle.

The principal’s voice was a metronome, blending with the tick of detention room clock.

When Bruce came at him, Marty was a crayfish caught without cover by a lunker bass.
