Super similes and metaphors

Room I are learning about similes and metaphors. We had to choose a theme and write similes and metaphors about our theme. We also had to tie our senses into it. Eg: The playground: the children screeched like monkeys. 

 Here is an poem of similes and metaphors from Samuel.

Trail Riding

The forest is as quiet as a mouse until I give my motorbike a sharp kick and it roars to life like an angry lion.

Petrol fumes invade my nostrils I release the clutch, open the throttle and take off like a fighter jet. I ride as quick as lightning 

A tree jumps into my path. I hit it SMACK!!

I roll like a rugby ball.

Gritty sand fills my mouth and pine needles as sharp as broken glass stab at me.
