Definition: A figure of speech that compares two unlike things using "like", "as", and "than".
Example:
Pretty as a picture
Sweeter than a swisher
Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's witcha (with you)
(Pretty Girl Rock- Keri Hilson)
Significance: The importance of simile is that it compares unlike things, to make you understand the poem more. It makes the poem fun to read, and ironic. It puts for feeling into the stanza of the poem.
