For example, in Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage" speech from "As You Like It," he compares life to a play, with different "acts" representing different stages of life.

You use metaphors to decipher the poem. A metaphor is a comparison of two (like or unlike) things using only "is" to connect them. For example: "Love is a fire, burning bright." or "Night is quiet I desire and need." An extended metaphor poem takes a metaphor and compares it throughout the poem, like: "This night is the comfort, Of a hug from mother to child. It is the warmth and security, Of love and compassion so tender. This night is the nightmare, The one that started it all. It is what I fear most, And the only thing I find serenity in."
