Thank You it's a lovely poem but I did not know which line was a metaphor and which line was a simile, I'm not too good at this stuff. But Thank You
Ms. Sue
A simile compares two unlike things using the words <i>like</i> or <i>as</i>.
A metaphor compares to unlike things without using <i>like</i> or <i>as</i>.
