The night sky was black as coal.

My mom says I am an owl because I stay up late.

The wind whispered through the meadow and danced with the tall grass.

When my mom finds out what I did she is going to kill me.

This bed is as soft as a brick.

A figure of speech in which contradictory terms appear together or in conjunction. (e.g. bittersweet)
