Extended Metaphor poem « Thread Started on Dec 2, 2003, 9:52pm »
My Parents My parents are like the military. They stalk the house with curious and strict eyes Then sleeps throughout the night. But when they wake up... Their medals are clanking straight against their chest & roars at me for attention they bark orders as my mom rages through the house with my dad: " Throw away the garbage! " " Clean your room! " Then goes back to the kitchen I am like a soldier who carries out what they say.

I'm sorry to say this but before you write something on the internet make sure it is correct. your poem is not an extended metaphor, not even a metaphor, in fact it is a simile because you are using the words "like" to compare a thing to another one.
