Vivid Verbs Imagery is essential to every part of speech. Pick verbs that can really show what is happening.

Mrs. Broderic looked at the two goof-offs. Try words like: Stared Glared Peeked Inspected

Vivid Verb Guidelines: Choose verbs that do not need assistance of adverbs. Avoid “to be” verbs. Active, not passive voice Showing, not telling verbs.

Will Ferrell’s Commencement Speech for the Harvard Class of 2003: "I graduated from the University of Life. All right? I received a degree from the School of Hard Knocks. And our colors were black and blue, baby. I had office hours with the Dean of Bloody Noses. All right? I borrowed my class notes from Professor Knuckle Sandwich and his Teaching Assistant, Ms. Fat Lip. That’s the kind of school I went to for real, okay?"

What is a metaphor? A direct comparison of two unlike things, not using ‘like’ or ‘as.’ (Those are similes.) When Dr. Gregory House (in the TV series House, M.D.) says, "I'm a night owl, Wilson's an early bird. We're different species," he's speaking metaphorically. When Dr. Cuddy replies, "Then move him into his own cage," she's extending House's bird metaphor--which he caps off with the remark, "Who'll clean the droppings from mine?"

Another Famous Extended Metaphor " All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms...” - 'As You Like It' - William Shakespeare

When used poorly, extended metaphors can be a little much. Your heart.
