"I'm a riddle in nine syllables"

The nine syllables correspond with the nine months of pregnancy. Each line of the poem is a metaphor for pregnancy and there are nine lines, one for each month of gestation. The riddle in the first line is the unknown baby growing in those nine months/syllables.

Who is the speaker in the poem 'Metaphors' by Sylvia Plath?
