What is a simile in Edgar Allan Poe's poem, Annabel Lee?

Ais a , a
literary device which adds emphasis,
gives visual clarity and makes a comparison between things
that would not
normally or literally be compared. It is distinct fromwhich also makes a

comparison because a simile uses the word "like" in its description or it may
use
" as...as."

In 's poem , Poe
gives his poem a
lyrical, but at the same time eerie quality. At the
beginning, the reader may be encouraged to
settle down and listen to a story
about the idyllic life of Annabel Lee who has "no other
thought / Than to
love and be loved by me," the narrator. However, it soon becomes clear
that
this first person narrator is quite apparently obsessed with her to the point that
he
imagines that even "the winged seraphs of heaven / Coveted her and me"
which means
that they were jealous of the extent of his and Annabel's love
for each other, an example
ofwhich is gross over-exaggeration. 

As the poem progresses, the narrator
makes use ofand we see it in
the repeated h-sound in the fourth verse when he suggests that,
"The angels,
[are] not half so happy in heaven"

as he and Annabel Lee have been on earth. Alliteration is
often
used with similes (for example, as busy as a bee) and the above
statement is the closest to a
simile as possible with the narrator saying
that the angels are not
as happy
as he and Annabel Lee are.
Angels' happiness
could not normally be compared to earthly happiness and angels are not

comparable to humans. "As happy as a lark"  or "as happy as Larry" are
common
similes and "Larry's" origin is mostly unknown and only

presumed.
