Metaphor (Extended Metaphor)

Definition: A metaphor is when you compare two different ideas without using "like" or "as." An extended metaphor is comparing groups of connected ideas.


Example: 
Metaphor: "Baby you light up my world like nobody else" ~ One Direction


Extended Metaphor: The fog comes in on little cat feet.
It sits looking over the harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then, moves on. - 'Fog' - Carl Sandburg


Significance: The significance of metaphors is good because it makes the poem more interesting and fun to read.
