Read the excerpt from "Introduction to Poetry" by Billy Collins.I ask them to take a poemand hold it up to the lightlike a color slideor press an ear against its hive.Which line from the excerpt contains a metaphor?

“Or press an ear against its hive” is a metaphor because it describes the poem as if it were a hive, suggesting it contains sounds or activity worth listening to. “Like a color slide” is a simile, since it uses “like” to make a comparison.
