This is a simile, not a metaphor.
Simile is when something is "like" something else. Metaphor is when something "is" something else.

This is a simile, not a metaphor. Simile is when something is "like" something else. Metaphor is when something "is" something else. The title includes metaphors and similes: '(Dust is like)'
The title says metaphor, then gives an example of what he is looking for (Dust is like). The example is a simile. This just irks me, as these are easy to understand the difference. Also, I learned this when I was about 10, so it seems like something everyone should know.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me...
There is no excuse for being British, and no forgiveness ever granted..
