It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. Examples: metaphor- The bright red ball dipped below the horizon. Simile- The sun, like a bright red ball, dipped below the horizon.Back to Top Question #8 (blank) It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on. This poem is comparing the San Francisco fog and a cat that is skulking through the city.
