A Metaphor is the comparison between two objects.



Ex: Death is a day.

Metaphors are important in poetry because they are a form
of figuritive language and gives you a chance to think about
the needing of a poem or story.


An Extended Metaphor is a comparison of multiple objects.



Ex:

He is the pointing gun, we are the bullets of his desire.

All the world's a stage and men and women merely players.

Let me count my loves of thee, my rose garden, my heart,

my fixed mark, my beginning and my end.

Extended metaphors are important in poetry, because they

are like metaphors they are a form

of figuritive language and gives you a chance to think about
the needing of a poem or story.
