example of metaphor

Some metaphors are so common that we may not even notice that they are metaphors. Take the familiar metaphor of life as a journey, for example. We find it in advertising slogans:

• "Life is a journey, travel it well."
  (United Airlines)
• "Life is a journey. Enjoy the Ride."
  (Nissan)
• "Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride with a GM reward card."
  (General Motors)

example of love metaphor poem

Love is a burning candle
It's not always easy to handle
It burns, but it's still beautiful
And it makes celebrations oh so meaningful

It's a sunset
Burning with romance
A song...
That makes you want to dance...
