Conceit
A Lesson by Thomas Fitzgerald
 Conceit Poetry Type is where an image or metaphor likens one thing to something else that is seemingly very different. Poets often use a far-fetched simile or metaphor in this style. An example of a conceit can be found in Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?".
Shall I compare thee to a
summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do
shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a
date.
