What is a metaphor, and can I have some examples?

I have do this for English class. I gotta read a poem, and do an essay on both metaphors and imagery of the poem. I can easily do imagery, but I’m stuck on metaphors.

So can I have a few examples of metaphors?

Oh, and if you’ve read Sailing Around The Room Alone by Billy Collins, could you tell me what poem is a good example for metaphors? Thanks.

VIVA LA RAZA!

a metaphor is saying something”is” something else by no using like or as.
ex-his eyes were a two twin lakes into which one could dive into and swim in for a lifetime

the way i remember is the song HATEU by mariah carey: we went round and round till we knocked love out,we were sitting in the ring not making a sound, and if thats a metaphor of you and i,why is it so hard to say goodbye?”

good luck on your essay!
