Why is a woman compared to a sea?
Because of common traits that they both share.
Woman, tempestuous can sure be she.
Though often silent, she can surely flare.
Women’s eyes can be unfathomable.
They can have a gaze that is vast and deep.
They can, like sea, be uncontrollable.
They shed salty tears when they cry and weep
Of this fact all men are too well informed:
Both can be calm and furious at times.
“Hell has no fury like a woman scorned”,
Thus wrote Shakespeare about feminine crimes.
Though men may claim they have mastered the sea,
Few would venture to say this of a she.
