Is this a metaphor?

in this poem:


%26quot;The stark white ring-barked forests,


All tragic to the moon,


The sapphire-misted mountains,


The hot gold rush of noon.


Green tangle of the brushes,


Where lithe lianas coil,


And orchids deck the tree tops


And ferns the warm dark soil.%26quot;





where it says %26quot;sapphire-misted mountains%26quot;


would that be a metaphor?

Is this a metaphor?
no its not a metaphor its just imagery
Reply:Not really. If it said the mist among the mountains were as blue as the blues saphire, that would be a metaphore.





This is more of an allegory
