According to the sentence "Dandelion flowers are like our palms, which can be opened and closed", the purpose of this exercise is twofold: one is to be familiar with metaphors, and the other is to learn to imitate. You can complete the exercise as follows-
First of all, we must understand the characteristics of the given sentence. This sentence has two characteristics.
The first feature is the use of metaphor. Metaphor is metaphor, that is, using a popular and vivid thing to illustrate another thing, but on one condition, the compared thing must have similarities with the compared thing. For example, the phrase "dandelion's flowers are like our palms" is to compare "dandelion" to "palm", and the expression is "dandelion is like palm". So, what are the similarities? Find this similarity, that is, find its second feature.
The second feature is that the phrase "can be opened and closed" behind this metaphor actually points out the similarities between the two things, that is, "dandelion" and "palm" can be opened and closed.
Therefore, if you want to write a sentence like this, that is, "imitation", you must make a sentence according to the characteristics of this sentence, and you must do two things: first, it must be a figurative sentence, and second, it must be a short sentence that names its similarities. It can be seen that this parody sentence should be two sentences, the first sentence is a figurative sentence, and the second sentence is a declarative sentence that illustrates its similarity.
Second, start imitating sentences at once. Only by understanding the characteristics of a given sentence and then making a sentence can we ensure that the imitated sentence conforms to the meaning of the question.
According to the characteristics of the given sentences, you can make countless sentences, but you must be good at association and find out the similarities between one thing and another. Also, what we compare must be common and well known, because the original intention of metaphor is to make things that are not easy to understand better. Here are some examples for your reference.

We live in the country, and there is a large meadow in front of the window. The grass is covered with dandelions. When dandelions are in full bloom, the grassland turns golden.
My brother and I often play on the grass. Once, my brother ran up to me, and I pretended to be serious and shouted, "Thank you!" " "As soon as he turned around, I blew hard and blew dandelion fluff into his face. My brother pretended to yawn and blew dandelion fluff into my face. In this way, these humble dandelions have brought us a lot of happiness.
One day, I got up early to go fishing and found that the grass was not golden, but green. When I came home at noon, I saw that the grass was golden. At night, the grass turns green again. Why is this? I came to the grass and observed it carefully. I found that the petals of dandelion are closed. It turns out that dandelion flowers are like our palms, which can be opened and closed. When the flowers bloom, they are golden, and the grass is also golden; When the flowers bloom, the golden petals are wrapped and the grass turns green.
What a lovely meadow! What an interesting dandelion! Since then, dandelion has become our favorite flower. It sleeps with us and gets up with us.
