You had some excellent examples of descriptive language which we posted around the room last week. Post a comment with another example of interesting and descriptive language...you may find it in a book or create it yourself.
Here's my example: "The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning." from Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt

sometimes I curl up like a cat and read for hours and hours like a clock that never passes!

I like whip cream so much that i think that it is like a big mountain with creammy snow on top.

Birds are singing like little bells in the trees, the air is warm like a soft blanket of summer, and the sun is shinning like a single dimond in the bright blue sky.That is a prefect day.

Rain is like the crystal of God's eyes, he always shines.

The sun was like a burning ember about to go out from the view of the jettis.

It's a gorgious winter day, the sun is shining, the temperature is steady at 40 degrees, and not a singal cloud in sight as you fly down the slopes.

A year ago I got a concussion, my head slamming against the pole felt like I was a shattered piece of glass, dizzy and feeling like my body was confused not knowing what had happened. John Carroll
The cat's eyes were like green floating disks.

It was night, but there was an enormous full moon hovering just above the trees that framed the meadow. It cast a silver blue light strong enough to throw shadows and made everything look like it was underwater, an impression that was strenghtened by the gentle breeze blowing on the soft grass.

I shoved popcorn into my mouth, feeling like a chipmunk stocking up for the cold harsh winter ahead.

Senna and Zafrina were more like two limbs of one organism- Zafrina just happened to be the mouthpiece.

Friends are like rocks. One minute the are nice and smooth and the next thing you know is they bash you together and become bumpy.
-Taylor Howe
the prank you played today was a good one but it was still mean:D

A perfect day is when everyone gets that happy feeling, like when the sun shines down a rainbow on a cloudy day, like the feeling a child gets the morning after Santa comes, or when they can ride the brand new red bicycle without training wheels. When everyone feels like the world is wonderful, and nothing is holding you down so you fly.

We skid past other skiers and boarders leaving them in a blanket of snow and mud.

People have been asking me. What was it like surviving the crash? And I would answer, I donno... All I could see was the clear blue sky fading into a pure black screen of unconsciousness and feeling my warm olive tan hands ice cold as I hit the ground with a bang.
~Olivia Osborne
the slide was like a monsterous snake all wet with slime

Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch your hearts. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thin in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life.

The smell was so bad it was like moldy cheeze sitting outside on a hot summer day

It was so hot out that people started pouring buckets of sweat off of their bodies.
The moon was like a sliver of bright aluminum, glistening in the dark night sky.

I turned his hand back up, finally realizing that the angry pink, puckered line was all that was left of his wound.

I can smell the sunscreen protecting my skin from the sun that is making me feel as though I am just another fish being caught and grilled for lunch.
As I walk away from the ocean, the waves loud crashing now sounds almost like the static of a radio.

The beach is like a giant sandbox with a puddle in it and people are surrounding it like a hundred dollar bill fell on the ground.

I never read the book, I just found the book and opened to a random page.

We stood there like brave little soldiers.
~Olivia Teague
As the sun set upon the water turning the smooth glasslike surface a rainbow of clors, we stood there watching, maybe taking a final dive off the dock, then the sun dissapears... a ripple floats acroos the water disturbing the perfection signifying the end of my perfect day.
-Sarah Houston
Mrs. Scott, when are we going to the library, because my baby sister might be there for a play group thing.
