Oohh, I like this idea! I have a deep love for analogies and use them constantly!

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.

LOL, that one made me laugh!

Let me see… a few I recall particularly are:

[Describing a forest]:

She’d said there were trees as tall as palaces, arching over the open places like throne rooms, that the birds had plumage brighter than any courtier could flaunt, and that the deer moved through the arches like noblewomen, slow and stately. There were creeks like crystal and rock formations like marble sculptures.

[Same forest, just described by a different person]: (I just really like that forest, XD)

We went around the hill, into the depths of the towering forest. The golden grass faded into shrubbery and majestic trees like the pillars of the ruined palace. Ivy trailed up and down it like a thick tapestry and my feet sank into the warm, sun-dappled moss like the richest of carpets. Brushstrokes of moss speckled the rugged trunk of the trees and the twigs cracked a rhythm to the melody of the singing birds.

The sounds were as familiar as the songs played by the flutists, every one a part of me like nothing else could ever be.

The forest guarded the ruins like a dragon guarded a maiden that had been sleeping a hundred years, trains of ivy as her gown with moss for a pillow and rich sunlight as her golden hair. As I placed a hand on the creamy sandstone, I could almost feel her heartbeat. The forest breathed with the creak of branches and rush of wind through treetops.

Vines twined around the palace, the flowers drooping like rings dropping off the fingers of a princess, rubies, sapphire, emerald, and the gold in the sunlight weaving it together.
