Read the extended metaphor poem below.
Bat
My son is a bat.
His eyes blink when darkness comes.
His body stirs with life.
His limbs gorge with blood
as he sets out through the cave of night
his roof the stars
the moon a big white eye watching.
Attracted by the false lights
he mingles with his batty friends
weaving in and out of nightclubs
endless parties
each other’s places
till sensing the sudden ebb
of darkness
he flutters home
a cloaked Dracula
to the hollow of his room
where he will sleep all day
Now, explain what you THINK an extended metaphor poem is.

A extended metaphor poem to me is a metaphor that drags on about one subject.

I think an extended metaphor is a poem that doesn’t just have only one metaphor but there are more than one metaphor throughout the poem.

I think an extended metaphor poem is a metaphor this is extend greatly in the form of a poem. It takes the metaphor a streches it out creating a better few of the metaphor.

I think an extended metaphor poem is when you take a metaphor and you ad on to that metaphor with other metaphors that relate to the original metaphor.

This poem, is different from a catalog poem because it is more put together..
What I think a metaphor poem is is when the poem has a series of metaphors to make up the poem

I think an extended metaphore poem is when you take a metaphor, and just as it sounds, you stretch and expand it out into a poem, all surrounding that beginning metaphor.

A metaphor poem is, a poem about something that describes something else. What is different between the two poems we have been learning about are one is something u feel inside and won’t to let out, this one is about your oppinion on someone or something.

I think an extended metaphor is a extremely long metaphor not just one sentence, replacing the truth with others but they are not quite real.

My guess is that an extended metaphor poem is a whole poem made completely of metaphors. Either that or, one metaphor expanded throughout the poem.
