What is an extended metaphor? The term “extended metaphor” refers to a comparison between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph, or lines in a poem. It is often comprised of more than one sentence, and sometimes consists of a full paragraph. Basically, it’s a metaphor that is referred to more than just the once. For example: The cafeteria is a jungle. Wild animals are scrambling for food. Grunting like wild boars, they stampede to the line. They devour their prey, clean their paws and return to their dens.

Jasmine is a mouse. Meek and silent, she moves from place to place with ease and soundless speed. At lunchtimes, she would nibble at her lunch and avoid the cat-like characters that patrolled the corridors. Intimidated, she returned to her safe haven. Tyler, however, was a cheeky monkey.

This poem uses an extended metaphor This poem uses an extended metaphor. Highlight all of the references to the metaphor that you can find. The sea is a hungry dog, Giant and grey. He rolls on the beach all day. With his clashing teeth and shaggy jaws Hour upon hour he gnaws The rumbling, tumbling stones, And 'Bones, bones, bones, bones! ' The giant sea-dog moans, Licking his greasy paws. And when the night wind roars And the moon rocks in the stormy cloud, He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs, Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs, And howls and hollos long and loud. But on quiet days in May or June, When even the grasses on the dune Play no more their reedy tune, With his head between his paws He lies on the sandy shores, So quiet, so quiet, he scarcely snores.
