The stars sparkled and twinkled like diamonds.
I felt as though I was going to explode at any minute.
The pages of the newspaper danced in the fresh spring breeze.
The dog's hackles rose like blades across its back.
His house was full of all sorts treasures; it was clear that he was both a magpie and a squirrel. 
The children whooped with glee as the pinata cracked open and a myriad sweets came tumbling out.
It had all become too much; today had literally been the worst day in my entire life.
The violent sky rumbled in anger.
The lightning flashed through the swirling clouds as the thunder boomed. 
My hawk eyes scanned the crowd.
