Samiscribbles weekend writing prompt #425 #Gently lapping tides

Tall masts illuminated by the light of the moon

The schooner rides at anchor across the lagoon

Sails carefully furled, lashed up, stowed away

Lamps hanging from timbers all gently sway

On deck the bosun completes his night rounds

Reports to the captain that all’s safe and sound.

  1. This paints a vivid picture of a serene scene, I can imagine the soft creak of wood, the lapping of the water, and the distant calls of seabirds under the moonlight ❤️

  2. A maritime tale for a nautical theme, from a man who knows the intricacies of the sea
