Those words were music to my ears.

Metaphors use the comparison or contrast of two unlike objects to create one image or feeling. Metaphors are used in all forms of writing and are common in ordinary speech. Metaphors are sometimes clichés. Metaphors are different from similes. HOW?

I wandered lonely as a cloud. Similes use like, as, than, and resembles to make comparisons. This simile uses as. Can you make this into a metaphor? I was a lonely, wandering cloud.

Extended Metaphors An extended metaphor is a metaphor that is developed over several lines of writing or even through an entire work. Example: “O Captain! My Captain!” by Walt Whitman.

O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! by Walt Whitman O CAPTAIN! my captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring. But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red! Where on the deck my captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O captain! my captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills For you bouquets and wreaths for you the shores a-crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning. O Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will. The ship is safe and sound, its voyage closed and done: From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won! Exult, O shores! and ring, O bells! But I, with silent tread, Walk the spot my captain lies Fallen cold and dead.
