In the poem The Sea, the author uses words that describe the sea as if it were a person or an animal. This is called a metaphor. For example, when he writes 'The sea is a hungry dog', he means that the waves look like a dog that is ready to eat something. Metaphors help us understand things better by comparing them to something we already know.
