The description that best defines the term <em>metaphysical conceit </em>would be unusual comparisons to describe commonplace things.
For example, John Donne wrote a poem called <em>The Flea </em>in which he is talking about a mere insect on the surface level, whereas in fact he is using metaphysical conceit to talk about a romantic intercourse through the metaphor of a flee.
