Metaphor

You compare one thing to another

Like the simile; makes things similar

The moon is a silver coin in the sky

The helicopter is a dragon fly

Some say you are an analogy

Some say you are an allegory;

The hurricane winds are a pit-bull

The sandpaper he has is steel wool

You are the figure of speech

And symbolism you teach;

His belly is a big drum

The white glue is chewing gum
