Practicing Metaphors

The concept of writing metaphors just to write a metaphor is difficult for me. I use metaphors in my writing, but it's not usually intentional. After each attempted metaphor, I tried to define the metaphor. According to Wikipedia, a metaphor compares seemingly unrelated objects. I think I'm stretching on most of these.

Veins of humidity burst, raining over the crowd. (A sweaty crowd's weather pattern)

Shards of light pierce the drone of stifled shadows. (complacency interrupted)

She attempts to chase time that has already butterflied. (time is running out, or maturing)

Spinning green, yellow, and red; spiraling kaleidoscopes of color; Falling revolutions (the revolution of seasons)
