Tim:
I am not good at rankings -- I have a tendency to love the one I'm with -- but Bogan is mighty good. "Cartography," posted by Robert Mezey, is an old favorite of mine. The flow of the simile from vein to leaf to map to river is like the flow of blood, the flow of water, the flow of the speaker's powers of association, and more. Splendid.
