Which line from the poem contains a metaphor? Worry makes an ache— stomach swims, head throbs . . . It’s an unwanted guest Like an empty piggy bank

Answer :

crimsonLi
a metaphor compares things WITHOUT using like or as. similes use like or as.
the first one, with "stomach swims", seems like personification,giving an object human qualities.
I would go with the second one, some assume a simile to branch underneath metaphor, I'd assume.
the first one isn't comparing anything, so it's probably the second choice.
