Crimson’s Creative Challenge #36

When over the bow
the great wave breaks,
rearing and plunging
the whole vessel shakes
the binnacle spins,
the helmsman takes
a firm grip on the wheel while
between decks the sailor makes
the sign of the cross
as for a lull in the storm
he patiently waits

    That reeks of the sea … in the nicest possible way. It’s very good. 🙂
