Smilies

As tired as a sleeping giant that had guarded the gate of the filthy humans.

As quick witted as cheetah hunting down its prey.

As frightened as a mouse that just escaped the jaws of a cat.

Gently like a purring cat asleep on your lap.

Grey like the stormy night sky.

Similes

As sharp as the jaws of a great white shark ripping his dinner apart.

As shiny as a newly polished shoe from the boy down the street.

As relaxed as my poppa having a nap in the afternoon.

Burning like my mums hot chilli sauce
