A metaphor is a way to compare things using the word "is". Simile's are not metaphors because similie's say something is LIKE another thing while metaphors are saying something IS something when it is not.
Her smile was a drop of sunshine on a cloudy day.A metaphore is comparing something without using like or as. :)
when you're describing something as being something else entirely, you are using metaphorical lexis (or just plain metaphor) hope that helps m8!
metaphor
A simile is when something is described by comparing it to something else by using the words "as", "like" or "than". For example "float like a feather" or "green as grass". The difference between a simile and a metaphor is that the metaphor says that something is. Simile - Her hair is like gold in the sun. Metaphor - Her hair is gold in the sun.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes a subject by stating what it is by using a comparison with a unrelated object. A nightmare is like sunlight to a vampire.
Once you know what a metaphor is, there shouldn't be any difficulty in using it. Metaphor describes something in a non-literal manner, as something which it actually isn't, in order to make a poetic statement. For example, let us say we are talking about a violent person; I could call him a "killing machine" even though he is in reality a person and not a machine.
It seems like there might be a typo in your question. Did you mean "metaphor"? A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes something in terms of something else to create a symbolic comparison. It is used to convey meaning by suggesting a resemblance or analogy between two things.

If an author describes monsoon raining as " the sky is crying", here author is explaining rain by using metaphor as " the sky is crying." A few more examples are: "Your eyes are the sun in my life." "Your smile brightens the entire room." "The cat was a ball of fluffiness." It means that the object or person is described as something else without using the words 'like' or 'as.'
A metaphor is a literary device that is used to describe something through comparison without using the words "like" or "as". A metaphor of grass could be anything as long as it is comparing grass to something.
The phrase "she is my guardian angel" is a metaphor. This is because it directly describes someone as having the qualities of a guardian angel without using "like" or "as" to make a comparison.
