Extended Metaphor

Extended Metaphor: A metaphor compares two things that are not alike and it takes a metaphor and compares it throughout the entire poem.




He is the pointing gun, we are the bullets of his desire.
All the world's a stage and men and women merely players.
Let me count my loves of thee, my rose garden, my heart, my fixed mark, my beginning and my end

Significance: Extend Metaphor makes the poem more creative and interesting than normal metaphor poems.
