…a luminous balloon. Anyone else have that example given to them in school when explaining the difference between similes, metaphors and personification? The moon is ”like” a luminous balloon, the obvious simile example. The moon, smiling at me, provided perfect light for my path.

Poetry, a decorated vase. Poetry is like an ornate vase. Poetry smiles with us on the journey.
