Metaphors are a powerful literary tool that can help writers convey complex ideas and emotions in a memorable and impactful way.

Metaphors can also be used to create vivid imagery and sensory experiences, as in Pablo Neruda's poem "Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market," which compares the fish to a "bullet from the ocean depths."
