Extended Metaphor

The poem "I taste a liquor never brewed" by Emily Dickinson is one large metaphor. The alcoholic intoxication is being compared to being intoxicated by a fresh summer morning. Some "liquors" named are "Air " and "Dew." She also speaks of people flocking to the sun. I can relate to this because I love summer mornings. I love the feeling of the air and the unique feeling of the dew on my feet. She says the summer mornings make her want to drink more. This means that she wants more summer mornings because she can't get enough of them.
