Pondering this question, I found it important to go back to the basics of metaphors. I found an article “Metaphor Examples for Kids,” to help me get started. The article states that metaphors are “used to make a comparison between two things that aren't alike but have something in common.” The article lists 69 “Kid-Friendly Metaphors.” Here are my top five out of that list;
The classroom was a zoo.
Life is a rollercoaster.
The world is a stage.
He is a night owl.
You are my sunshine.

In my quest, I also came upon this article by Alex Bigman who provides several examples of photographs that communicate metaphor without photo manipulation. I am including three of my favorite metaphors that Bigman provides in his article.
