it's a comparison without using the words "like" or "as", known as a simile.
Simile:
Her skin is as red as my tomato soup.
She dances like a tree in the wind.
Metaphor:
The US is a giant hamburger.

A metaphor compares two unlike things. "My love is a red rose" is a very cliched example of one.

It is used to relate one thing to another, but unlike a simile, it doesn't use the words "an" or "like." it is a direct statement.
Simile: The boy was like a running cheetah.
Metaphor: The boy was a running cheetah.
