The simile "like snakes under a porch" evokes a sense of hidden danger and unease. It suggests that something unsettling or treacherous is lurking beneath the surface, much like snakes that are often unseen but can strike unexpectedly. This imagery can convey feelings of anxiety or foreboding, emphasizing the unpredictability of what lies beneath a seemingly calm exterior.
A simile from "The Front Porch" by Chester Mccovey could be "The sun hung in the sky like a blazing ball of fire."
"Can you finish this simile when for it to be chopped down like a tree in the forest, falling silently under the weight of its own age?"

Snakes don't like the tops of their heads or their tails touched. You can safely pet a tame snakes body and some like under their chin to be scratched as well
"Porch" sounds like "porsche."
no it is not a simile
No!, they have skin on their under bellies. This is like soft scales.
simile It is an example of a simile (uses like or as). A simile in itself though is a type of metaphor.
