If we write a comparison between two things and omit
.the word "like" then we are using a Metaphor
The metaphor goes a step further than the simile and instead
,of asking us to picture one thing as being like another
.we are asked to picture one thing as being another
.We are describing one thing as if it were actually another
Metaphors are not only use in poetry but can be found
,in all types of writing, metaphors enliven ordinary
it create new meanings, they allow you to write about
.feelings, thoughts, things, experiences

He was a tornado, blasting his way through the opposing team*
-
He was a lion in the fight*
-
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas*
-
Education is your passport to satisfying employment*
-
The truck flew down the empty highway*
-
My love is a red, red rose*
-
The boy told his mother a white lie*
-
The thief was caught red-handed*
