K little one - your line 1 is the single line, it could be more explicitly sensory, the leap/aha is between your line 1 & the 2 line part which is fine!!! [the raft angles down][ the mast breaks] - see how that SHOWS a bad storm without saying tempest? [mountains of waves] Light & Love

Many a ship never met the Tempest's match. The deep being the winner, the sea's final catch. Fine poetry, yep :)
