metaphor is the figure of speech..

Answer 2

Answer

In the poem 'Once upon a time' by Gabriel Okara, a metaphor has been used in the phrase 'ice block cold eyes.'

Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'metaphor' as 'an expression, often found in literature, that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to have similar characteristics to that person or object.'

The line 'while their ice block cold eyes search behind my shadow' compares the cold emotion of the eyes to coldness of the ice block. The phrase suggests people's insensitivity towards other human beings.
