Read the poem.
how does the metaphor in line 7 affect the
poem's meaning?
seacoast silhouette
all up and down the dunes,
the comparison to a tattoo
suggests that the reflection of the
moon seems artificial and forced.
the tall green grasses dance,

temporary phenomenon
across the sandy expanse.

the metaphor implies that tattoos
are part of the natural world just as

the metaphor conveys the eternal
and permanent connection between
the moon and the ocean
that we watch from upon the hill.
