DEFINITION
A figure of speech which is used to compare two unlike things by comparing words such as like, as, or more than.
EXAMPLE
Your teeth are like stars;they come out at night.
They come back at dawn
when they're ready to bite.
SIGNIFICANCE
Simile is different from metaphor and it has its own positive sides. Metaphor is a bit more interesting because sometimes we need to guess what's the author trying to compare. However, by using simile, comparison can be easily recognized by the audience and it makes the poem easier to be understood.
