Answer 2

According to this definition all poetry is a combination of metaphor. So all you have to do is pick some poetry you like, and determine what the metaphors are.

"The ginger cat walked in the garden,":
a metaphor for that statement would be
"The golden queen flowed through her paradise."

*All* poetry is metaphor so to even say that something is a metaphor poem is like saying you've got a water fish. Or a wooden tree. It's redundant, really.

What people actually MEAN when they use the term metaphor is a level of abstraction whereby one reality occurrence is TRANSPOSED onto another reality occurrence and you get a cohesive movie emerging that writes itself.

For example, with our cat in the garden, if we transpose cat to queen as I did in that example, now ALL THE THINGS that apply to queens get applied to cats.

cat = queen

fur = silk dress

tail = train of the dress

paws = dainty feet, clad in wondrous silk slippers, with pearls on.

grass = courtroom carpets of luscious colours and golden weaves.

garden = majestic courtroom with chandeliers

mice = ambassadors from foreign countries, shivering with fear

.... and so on and so on.

Answer 3

Here's some. "Mirror" has lots of metaphors, and "Love Over Gold" has one: "you're a dancer on thin ice." You can randomly search the website they're from (see resources) to get more if you like. Good luck! :)

Answer 4

Chicago by Carl Sandburg "city of the big shoulders", etc
Harlem by Langston Hughes "a raisin in the sun"
Song of Solomon

Answer 5
