Metaphor

Definition:
A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses comparision words like like or as to compare two different things.

Example:
The cookie is like a brown ball.

Explaination:
This helps the reader a lot throughout the poem. If the reader only knows one thing and doesn't know the other, metaphor helps the readers visualize what the object they do not know about. It also makes the poem more interesting and fun to read.
