Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
yes, using like or as makes it a simile!. if the 2 lines were one complete thought like on one line then it would be considered personification as well!.

good luck!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those are similes!.
Personification is apply human characteristics to an inanimate object!.!.!.but it can't be done the other way around (applying non human characteristics to a human)
Simile is a comparison of 2 things using like or as
Metaphor is a comparison of 2 things, usually using is (or some for of is, such as was)Www@QuestionHome@Com
