Petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love by comparing his beloved or Laura to natural phenomenon.
Metaphors are frequently used in Petrarchan sonnets to express his ideas of unattainable love. For instance, the metaphor "In a tremendous storm on an unsecured raft" is also used to describe how he feels in response to her passing which shows that he lost his love.
