I need love

I need love like a thief needs money

I need love like clown needs to be funny

I need love like a sore throat needs honey

And lemon to ease the pain

Like a lion needs a mane

I need love

I need love like skin needs care

I need love like a table needs a chair

I need love like mammals need hair

According to biology

Like the world needs technology

I need love

I need love like a day needs hours

I need love like a garden needs flowers

I need love like a castle needs towers

To look stunning

Like a race needs running

I need love

I need love like medicine needs the sick

I need love like a mouse needs to click

I need love like a backside needs a kick

If the owner misbehaves

Like the Dead need graves

I need love

I need love like the world needs rules

I need love like a mechanic needs tools

I need love like a crown needs jewels

To show a great deal of wealth

Like everyone needs health

I need love like a dog needs a bone

I need love like a neck needs cologne

I need love like an ice cream needs a cone

I need love

  1. This is just fantastic - it is seriously impressive. You stick meticulously to the structure I suggested (next time go one step further and experiment with an even more complex structure of your own) and your rhymes are perfect. And as for your similes, I don't think I could fault any, and many are refreshingly original and fun; and remember, as far as GCSE creative writing is concerned, originality is EVERYTHING. Well done!

    And my favourite similes: lots to choose from, but I would probably go for "I need love like a backside needs a kick" :)

    To make it better still? Think about structure, and how any piece of writing needs to work towards some sort of climax/conclusion - built up to by what precedes. Could you have done that here too?

  2. Its lovely but I think it needs a little something different like want or hate or something along those lines because I found it a bit repetative and yoou want someting new for a bit, but I loved your similes they were great !!!
