by James Reeves
The sea is a hungry dog.
Giant and grey.
He rolls on the beach all
day.
With his clashing teeth and
shaggy jaws.
Hour upon hour he gnaws
The rumbling, tumbling
stones,
And ‘Bones, bones, bones,
The giant sea-dog moans,
Licking his greasy paws.
And when the night wind
roars
And the moon rocks in the
stormy cloud,
He bounds to his feet and
snuffs and sniffs,
Shaking his wet sides over
the cliffs.

Compares two things but the
words “like” and “as” are

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed-and-gazed but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
