Definition
A comparison of two things without the use of "like" or "as". But is thoroughly conveyed with more than one sentence.
Example
"I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me"
- Emily Dickinson
Significance
Extended Metaphors allow poets and intuitive writers compare two things and do it to a point where it seems to have it's own story. So instead of just a comparison consisting of one sentence, the comparison goes on to a deeper meaning than just "this thing and that thing."
