Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

yes!.!.!."my eyes are waterfalls" is a metaphor, so is "anything you say is a song" and "your love is the heart in me"!. A metaphor is when you say one thing is another thing; a simile is when you say something is "like" another thing!. If you wanted to change your first metaphor into a simile, you'd say, "my eyes are like waterfalls"!.!.!.that's the only difference!.!.!.a metaphor says "it is" and a simile says "it's like"!.

hope this clears it up for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All similes are metaphors, but not all metaphors are similes!.

When you describe an object or a feeling using something other than a simple adjective, that's metaphorical usually!. For example, "his shirt is red" is not metaphorical!. However, if you say, "his shirt is as red as a fire truck," that's a metaphor!. Similes are the most basic metaphors, a good way to understand them!. They use "like" or "as!."
