Answer 2

I dont what you confused the firts answer that said that simile is llike a metaphor dont get confused.

this are my definitions for u:

simile:comparing two unlike things using the words "like" or "as"
example:The mouse was like a dog when it was being chased.
notice that i used the word ~like~ comparing the mouse with a dog

metaphor:comparing two unlike things WITHOUT using the words like or as.
example:The cat is a lighting when the dog was chasing it.
Notice I didnt use the word like or as but i was comparing .The cat was like lightning because it was running fast when the dog was chasing it.

April Song by Sara Teasdale
…
Spring was like a call to me
That I could not answer,
I was chained to loneliness,
I, the dancer.

The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke
From the Notesbooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
[Ibsen]
…And they pull your words around with them in cages of their presumptions, and exhibit them in the streets, and tease them a little, from a safe distance. All your terrifying wild beasts...
