It reminds me of the many mythological movies I used to enjoy in my teens. It reminds me of the Sirens' hypnotic spells. They would tie themselves to the boat to resist the spell.

Liked the poem, though..🌺

This immediately took me back to high school times and Miss Oldham teaching us Shakespeare.  She was then about the age I am now (or looked like it).  She loved Shakespeare and drew us into enjoying the study.
