"My love is like a red, red, rose"... A simile is a literary device that compares one thing to another, or assigns a characteristic of one thing to a different thing - think "simile = similarity" "He was only a car mechanic, but he knew cars like a surgeon knows anatomy." Similes and metaphors are often confused - a metaphor is a bit like a simile, but doesn't use as explicit a comparison - a metaphor simply states that something IS something else... To quote the bard of Avon, "All the world's a stage..." Had this been a simile, Billy S. would have written "The world is like a stage"... See the difference?
A simile is a figure of speech which compares two things or persons that are not similar. For example; as big as an elephant.

A simile is when you compare one thing with another thing but they are completely different. Some examples include brave as a lion and as cold as an ice cube.
In the poem, examples of metaphor include describing the sea as "a tattered shroud" and happiness as "a light bulb." Examples of simile include comparing the sun setting to a boat and comparing the sky to a "jewel studded sky."
