2. Flint
An emerald is as green as grass, A ruby is as red as blood; A sapphire shines as blue as heaven; A flint lies in the mud. A diamond is a brilliant stone, To catch the world’s desire; An opal holds a fiery spark; But a flint holds a fire.
Christina Rossetti
Simile- Comparing a emerald to grass

3. Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer’s Day  
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Metaphor- It does not have like or as in the sentence

4. Grandparents Are Grand
Grandparents are grand! GrandMa or GrandPa. Nana, Nona, or Nammy. PopPop, PaPa, or Poppy. Warm welcomes. Happy hugs, holding hearts. Love, Love, Love. Kids, crafts, cooking. Grandparents lending life’s lessons. Many momentous moments. Amazingly awesome!
Alliteration- It is a Tongue Twister

5. Two Sunflowers Move in the Yellow Room
"Ah, William, we're weary of weather," said the sunflowers, shining with dew. "Our traveling habits have tired us. Can you give us a room with a view?"
They arranged themselves at the window and counted the steps of the sun, and they both took root in the carpet where the topaz tortoises run.
Hyperbole- It’s is shining with dew

6. Rain
The rain is falling all around,             It falls on field and tree,  It rains on the umbrellas here,             And on the ships at sea.
Repetition- It is repeating the word rain
