"He was a lion in the fight" is a metaphor.
A simile is a direct correspondence as in: Her face was a rose. We know that there is an analogy being made here, but the two are being treated as being synonymous. However, a metaphor is a specific way of constructing an analogy using either the words "like" or "as": Her face was as pretty as a flower.

a metaphor doesn't use any specific words, But a metaphor can not use the words "like" or "as". If "like" or "as" is used, it's a simile. A Metaphor is "something used to represent something else" or "A comparison between two things, without using like or as". For example: "life is a journey" - This is a metaphor because it is comparing Life to a Journey, and does NOT use like or as.
'the snow was like a powder' is a simile. So, to answer your question, yes it is. just remember that, a simile is a comparison using 'like' or 'as'. so therefore it is a simile. in addition to that, a metaphor is a comparison without using 'like' or 'as', it says something 'is' something. e.g. The teacher was a King stepping on his minions. i know this is a vary long and explaining answer but thought it was useful for you to know. Okay, hope this helped. :)

Well, honey, if Sam was sitting as still as a statue, then that's a simile, not a metaphor. A simile compares two things using "like" or "as," while a metaphor states that one thing is another. So next time, pay attention in English class, darling.

Rain being used in a metaphor is common and an easy metaphor. Here is one of the more popular or common metaphors used relating to 'rain'. If you were describing a sad person you could take the sentence, "She cried," and switch it around. You first should start small with a simile; "When she cried it was like rain." Then make it a metaphor and as you know a metaphor does not use 'like' or 'as'. "Her crying was rain," or something similar pertaining to rain or perhaps other weather conditions. Using 'rain' as a metaphor is quite easy plus you can explore the other weather metaphors!
