The way to remember the difference between a metaphor and a simile is to remember

AS ____ AS ___ = A Simile


"Like" is used to mean the same thing as "as" in your sentence. Comparing two things saying one is "like" or "as" the other one makes this a simile.


A metaphor compares by saying that one thing is another, as in just saying "The car shot through the night" meaning that the car was a bullet.

How do you write an metaphor poem?

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."
