An Ocean of Memories

Use the ocean as a metaphor in a poem to describe a significant memory in your life.

The ocean with its vast depths, varying currents, and unpredictable weather makes for a perfect metaphor to describe your most profound memory. Reflect on specific characteristics of the ocean (such as its depth, translucency, strength, or fluidity) and how they parallel with the memory you’re trying to portray. This metaphor presents an opportunity to shed a new light, a different perspective, or a deeper meaning to a memory that is significant to you.
