it is neither actually. (: it doesn't fit in any literary devices.
This is a simile because it uses the word "like" or "as" to compare the pillow to a cloud. Similes make comparisons using "like" or "as," while metaphors make direct comparisons without using such words.
rose: prickly, scary at bottom, closer and closer to top it gets less prickly, and eventually happiness and beautiful at end; this, is just like love, its hard to find, scary at first, but when you feel it/havce it, it's amazing and just incredible♥

This sentence uses a simile ("as nervous as a cat with a long tail") to compare Ted's level of nervousness to that of a cat in a risky situation. It also incorporates a metaphor by describing the room as "full of rocking chairs," which suggests a potential source of anxiety or unease for Ted akin to the unpredictability of a cat in a precarious environment.
'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. :)
A Homeric simile is a long and poetic simile. An example of a Homeric simile is: She gently touched the carpet, as a butterfly delicately swoops its wings against the dew covered grass in the morning, before it takes off into the sky.
My dog's hair is as long as a whale.
The phrase "a blessing in disguise" is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as." In this case, it suggests that something initially perceived as negative or unfortunate may actually turn out to be beneficial in the long run.
A simile.:)
The butterfly was as colorful as the rainbow.
