as préposition / like préposition
A like B -> A différent de B
comparaison libre / illogique / poétique entre deux éléments qui n'ont a priori rien de commun
figure de rhétorique / de style
Une comparaison poétique en like peut être entièrement libre, n'avoir besoin d'aucune justification, ne reposer sur aucun raisonnement, ne découler d'aucune logique. Je compare n'importe quel A à n'importe quel B :

is like a
flower
A l'inverse, certaines comparaisons en like se fondent sur des rapprochements évidents, logiques :
