Question: Is this a metaphor!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
Soon it is summer and the blankets of green
Twist in the breeze with the sun's glittery gleam!.

This is talking about leaves!.!.!.would "blankets of green" be considered a metaphor!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Blankets of green is more like imagery!. If it is a metaphor, then it would probably say something more along the lines like:
"Soon it is summer and the grass are the blankets of green!.!.!."

Remember, a metaphor is when you compare something WITHOUT using "like" or "as"
EX: It was so windy out there, the poor old man stood no chance, he was a candy wrapper in the wind!.!.!.

In a way, yes!. But if it told what the blankets were then it'd be more of a metaphor!. Like 'The leaves are blankets of green and they twist in the breeze!.'
A metaphor is saying someone or something is someone or something else, without using the words like or as!.
