What effect does a poet hope to have on the reader when using a metaphor

The poet is trying to get the reader to make a comparison.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to a particular thing by mentioning a different one. This is done for rhetorical effect, in order to clarify a particular concept, or to identify similarities between two ideas. When a poet uses a metaphor in his work, he usually does so because he wants to get the reader to make a comparison.

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
