Grab a ball and look at it. Make 6 comparisons, either similes (the ball
is like a block of Swiss cheese) or metaphors (the ball is a bright moon).
Remember, you can describe specific parts of the ball as well (the lines are
like rivers, etc.) Use this poem from last J-Term as an example.
"The Basketball"
by Dustin Miller
Surface worn down like an old
miners hands.
Lines colored like coal; dark, tiny
valleys around the surface.
The name like the badge
on the worker’s shirts.
Scarred marks from play; scraped
by picks, hammers, dynamite.
But to fly through the air,
like a plane,
looking down at the goal,
instead of always looking up.
