Extended Metaphor


Definition: when two things are compare to each other and the things that relate to that two things are also connect to each other.

Example:

Painting
Painting is an untamed bird.
You're free to show how you feel
without consequence.
There's nothing holding you back.
Your emotions fly wildly.

Megan Sutter, Laura Young, and Sarah Peterson

Signification: We use extended metaphor to make the reader think more about our poem and it will make the poem sounds more interesting. It will attract more readers to think and want to read the poem to see what's next.
