Extended Metaphor 5th post


Definition: A poem that contains lines that use metaphor.
Example:

A word is dead
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
~ Emily Dickinson~

Significance: If you have lots of lines in a poem that use metaphor, the audience might get really excited to read the poem because they will have to interpret what do the lines mean and it's nice to have people to think about what you write.
