Best Answer

The dominant metaphor in Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day ......) is youth described as a day in summer.

Though properly speaking, since the comparison is made explicit, and since the parallels are developed and become the structure of the poem - this isn't really a metaphor. It is something between a simile and a conceit.
