Change these metaphors for ice into similes.

As the stir cracks and crazes their[branches] enamel …

Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells …

Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away …

Similes are  is a figure of speech that compares two things that are alike in some way. 
Metaphors is a comparison of two dissimilar things which does not use "like" or "as," e.g., "my love is a red, red rose." 

Example; 
"Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away" (M) 

"The shattered ice collected below the tree as if it were a heap of broken glass to sweep away." (S)

Do you understand, or do I have to make it clearer? :) Good luck!
