Answer 1

Not many people have read that poem. You may want to post it on here, for others to go through.

Answer 2

A simile uses like or as to compare things. A metaphor is a implicit comparison for ex. He is a snake. It doesn't use like or as, but like a simile it still compares things.

One simile would be: The birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when I love you.

Answer 3

simile = turning like a drowning man's.

metaphor = oceanic eyes.
