Extended Metaphor :]



Definition: A way of continuing to compare two different things (metaphor) throughout the piece of poetry.

Significance: Help readers to follow the main idea of the poetry.

My life is like a river
Sometimes flowing lightly and gently
Moving along with ease
My life is like a river
Sometimes rough and rapid
Longing for some release
Trying to calm the storm
Waiting for the sun to shine overhead
Looking for the rainbow in the sky
My life is like a river
I like the gentle bends
I like the smooth waters
They bring me peace and joy
I do not like the rocks and currents
They are struggles in my life
I enjoy the nice peaceful waters
My life is like a river
Having ups and downs
Twists and turns
Trying to smooth them out
