'All was quiet in this park
Until the wind, like a gasping messenger, announced
The tyrant's coming
Then did the branches talk in agony'.
There is in line 2 ('like a gasping messenger...') an example of
"Until the wind, like a gasping messenger, announced..."
Simile is the indirect comparison of two unlike objects using "as" or "like". This line compares the wind to a gasping messenger using the word “like”, which is the key indicator of a simile.
