Ugh. I Need Help. Please!!?!
Would This Be Considered A Metaphor??
"For A Long, Long Time, It Seemed Forever, I Lay There Crying, Sheltering My Falling Scarlet Ibis From The Heresy Of The Rain."
When It Says Scarlet Ibis It Is Actually Refering To A Person..
So Would It Still Be A Metaphor??

If the ibis represents a person and the falling rain represents...? It could be considered a metaphor.

What is a metaphor?
Definition
Here are two senses of metaphor:
A metaphor is the expression of an understanding of one concept in terms of another concept, where there is some similarity or correlation between the two.
A metaphor is the understanding itself of one concept in terms of another.
Examples (English)
The following sentences illustrate how the metaphorical understanding of anger-as-fire is expressed:
Your insincere apology just added fuel to the fire.
After the argument, Dave was smoldering for days.
That kindled my ire.
Boy, am I burned up!

Yes, it's a metaphor.
You may not be getting answers because you're in the food section.
no. it is just a description, sorry
If it is refering to a person, it is personification... this example would not be a metaphor, but a type of analogy.
No. A metaphor usually has the words like or as in the sentence.
"I've been acting like a jackass."
"Her eyes were as blue as the sea."
With a metaphor, you are comparing one thing with something else which is completely dissimilar.
No I don't think so. Did you try the literature category?
Sorry
