.:POETRY TERMS:. Metaphor ♥

Definition[:
Making a comparison between two things without using 'like', 'as', or 'than'. It's something used to represent something else to compare the two unlike things.


Example[:
Just a fraction of your love fills the air,
And I fall in love with you all over again,
You're the light that feeds the sun in my world,
I'd face a thousand years of pain for my girl.
[Common Denominator - Justin Bieber]

Significance[:
Metaphors are important because it shows not only is something like another thing, it shows it without the comparison words, which makes it more like the other thing; showing how strongly that something is so similar to the other thing, almost like it was the other thing. Strong connections will make the reader understand easier.
