A '''metaphor''' is a [[part of speech]] in which two objects are compared, but without directly comparing them, for example: "My love is a red, red rose" would be a metaphor. However, "My love is ''like'' a red, red rose" is actually a [[simile]], because it uses the word "like" or "as". Metaphors do not use these words.
