Extended Metaphor

Definition: Metaphor that is used in whole stanza, or even whole poem (extended/expand)

Example:
The moon is a shining coin
It shines tresure light towards the small creatures.
The light only entertains
The people who value it.

Significance: extended metaphor is important because it can express the passion of the poet about something. So extended metaphor helps us to understand the poet's feeling.
