Any comparison that uses "like" or "as" is a simile. The two things being compared can be anything.

You are asking ****is as hasty as ***** where the two series of asterisks represent any two things that the writer wishes to compare. Those choices are up to the author.

It could be: Geese are as hasty as my little brother, Roger.

or it could be: My language flew out of my mouth as hastily as a fox on fire.

It there is a comparison being made that does not use the words "like" or "as", then that comparison is called a metaphor. People need to understand the concept of metaphors because they are an entrance into human thought.

Examples of metaphors turn into parables and other teaching story.

My Goose-ish brother, Roger, waddles along the narrow street.

When I started to speak, a fox on fire jumped out of my mouth.

It's hard to write in metaphors but very much worth learning how to do. Then, you can start to think in them. This is a good skill to have. This leads to understanding allegories and conceits. All figures of speech which are sublimely rhetorical.
