She was a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling she bore
in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
She rose.

What kind of figurative language is used in the poem above?

Metaphor

Explanation:

When the author says that the woman "was a black ocean", this uses the linguistic device of a metaphor. This makes a comparison between two things which are mainly different but similar in one way. In this case, the comparison is being made between the woman and the ocean. A metaphor is used without the mention of 'like' or 'as', which is what a simile uses.
