Metaphor states, or infers, that something IS something else. Actually, the line you offer as allusion is more metaphorical than the one you offer as metaphor.

Imagery paints a concrete picture. The line you offer as imagery actually infers an action that alludes to a state of mind.

Sufinomo, I am not a girl. I'm a grown woman. The reason I know what I'm talking about is because I am a published author, and have critiqued writing for years -- almost certainly, more years than you have been alive.
