Examples of Metaphors in Poems
A metaphor is a comparison between two things that states one thing is another, in order help explain an idea or show hidden similarities. Unlike a simile that uses "like" or "as" (you shine like the sun!), a metaphor does not use these two words. For example, in a famous line from Romeo and Juliet Romeo proclaims, "Juliet is the sun."
Metaphors are commonly used throughout all types of literature, but rarely to the extent that they are used in poetry. Let's take a look at a few examples of metaphors in poems, which will allow us to see why they lend themselves particularly well to this form of writing.
Famous Metaphors in Poems
Because poems are meant to impart complex images and feelings to a reader, metaphors often state comparisons more poignantly. Here are a few of the most famous metaphors ever used in poetry:
The Sun Rising
Metaphysical poet John Donne was well known for his use of metaphors. In this famous work "The Sun Rising," the speaker tells the sun that nothing else is as important in the world as him and his lover.
"She is all states, and all princes, I.
Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compared to this,
All honour's mimic, all wealth alchemy."
In one of the most evocative metaphors in literature Donne is claiming that his lover is like every country in the world, and he every ruler - nothing else exists outside of them. Their love is so strong that they are the world and all else is fake.
