  • The cypress is a water fountain.
  • The sigh escaping from your strawberry mouth. (Strawberry = red and sweet.)

Sometimes, the actual term of the metaphor appears; this is a pure metaphor.

  • The sweet mouth that invites you to taste a joke among distilled pearls...

"Pearls" is a metaphor for "teeth".
