Extended Metaphor
Posted on | Monday, April 25, 2011 | No Comments
A metaphor that governs throughout the poem is called an extended metaphor. Heres one that I wrote for poetry month about my life.
Computers
My life is like a computer.
As more memory is used, the less becomes available.
Many contents, hidden away in folders, only I can see
When people try to access the computer, it
Requires a password to read on further
No one knows how this computer works, but me.
The internet gives access to new opportunities,
It is endless, being able to search for hours upon hours
But eventually my hard drive will be replaced, to
Expand even further in life.
I will move on and get more and more complicated,
My hard drive will become encrypted and no one will read it
