Age Old Lore

In their sturdy ships the mariners
Were guided by the ancient stars.

Ensuring that man and beast may feed,
Earth nurtures each and every seed.

A sea so placid safe and warm
Belches up wild demons in a storm.

I like the way that you concluded this, as it evokes both blue crystal and excrement green of the sea at different times. Solid job. Thank you, as always. Gerard.
