POETRY TERMS: Metaphor ♥

METAPHOR!










Definition: Making an ironic caparison to something to another thing. Not using "like", "as" and "than" because similes us those terms. I will make a post about simile soon.

Example:
I wanna be the substrate to your enzyme.

Significance: I think it is important to compare things in poetry. To me poetry is another language, a beautiful language,and it takes time to perfect it. Comparing things, help us understand the language. Poems is full of secrets. Without metaphors poetry and speaking wouldn't be fun. For example "I wanna be the girl in your life" it sounds sweet but "I wanna be the substrate to your enzyme" sounds sweet and fun.
