The snap of canvas sets Her ropes groaning. And She skims the waves, with wood planks moaning. A spray of salt brine; wets my lips and tongue. Nature's elixir; it helps keep me young. Foamy, frothy peaks; are crested and kissed. And indigo waves; morph into a mist. Chasing brisk breezes; she leans to one side. And I'm elated; near bursting with pride. But exaltation dies with the next swell. For emptied of wind; her sails drooped and fell.
