Best analogies are like the setting jewelers place their gems in. If overused or used poorly, the shimmer will be lost and the jewel will be lackluster at best. Used properly, it will enhance the gem to its full potential and bring great wealth to the jeweler and the customer.

I wanted to start a thread to see what are some of the best analogies you have used or come across. It can be short similes/metaphors or big picture analogies like the ones the Lord Jesus used.

Post as few or as many as you like.

Here are some recent ones I’ve used…

(to describe someone looking at me like I’m crazy) – She took a few more steps back, looking as if a wild beast had just stood on its hind legs and asked her to dance.

Description of a stavis forest (stavis trees are a type of tree in my fantasy world that has metallic properties) – The tree shimmered in the bespeckled light, like fireflies in a diamond cave.
