    The poem "The Look" by Carol Ann Duffy uses metaphors to describe how certain objects represent or symbolize other things. Each line pairs two things, with the first being "the look of" the second - for example, "The heron's the look of the river" and "Snow is the look of white." Through these pairings, the poem explores how appearances can represent deeper meanings or concepts.
