SIMILES
 make a unique connection between things which appear essentially unlike, usually through using the words 
"like" or "as." 

"O my luve’s like a red, red rose, 
That’s newly sprung on June; 
O my luve’s like the melodie        
That’s sweetly played in tune."
Robert Burns, "A Red, Red Rose."
