The figure of speech that is a common way for poets to use extended metaphors is **personification**. While metaphor itself can be extended, personification often involves extending the metaphor by giving human traits to non-human entities, which enhances the imagery and emotional impact.

Similes, while similar to metaphors, are typically brief comparisons using "like" or "as" and aren't necessarily extended. Parody and hyperbole serve different purposes and aren't specifically related to the use of extended metaphors.
