A greyhound is

as fast as a falcon

like quick wind,

speedy spider.

A sunset is

as slow as a drifty boat

like courage colours,

separated dimensions.

A turtle is

as suffocated as a chocked neck

like plastic bags,

deadly dangerous.

A pen is

as sharpened dagger

like an inky mouse,

drowned liquid.

A cactus is

as prickly as stepmothers

like demented demons,

horrific people.
