A winters day

Icicles

Look at the different images of things you may

see on a wintery morning.
Try to make up similes for each one.
Some have been done already.
Do you think they are successful?
Then use all your ideas to make up a poem.

Slide 10 of 12

I looked out of my window one winters day

I saw icicles like razor sharp sharks teeth
I saw snow falling like confetti drifting to the ground
I saw snowy lanes with snow lying like a fluffy quilt
I saw frosted glass like feathers swirling around
I saw the icy road with a surface like polished glass
All when I looked out of my window
One winters day

A surface like polished glass.
