The example of metaphor



Metaphor

Definition: Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison.
ExamplesI am a rainbow
"I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as.
I am not Anger
"I am not anger" is an example of metaphor because it is contrasting two nouns.
MY LIFE IS A DREAM
My life is a dream,
like a tiger waking
up from her deep sleep.
My life is like
a dream,
it's all
up
to
me,
the trees
are
purple,
the
stars
talk
away
the night,
the
moaning moon
lights
up the sky.
