Simile and Metaphor Quiz

What is the extended metaphor in the poem?

My Room

My room is heaven

with its clouds on the walls

that are lit with a luminous glow from

the gentle morning sun.

The pillows on my bed are as fluffy as clouds

and as soft as a baby's bottom.

The birds' chirping is like angels singing in my ears.

I am a God in my room and nothing else matters.

• Luminous glow
