The Lighthouse - Lighthouse Rhopalic Verse Contest

The coastal lighthouses, intervening
in many dangerous undercurrents. 
it's beacon interacts vigorously 
as vessel realigns, manoeuvring
past many obstacles undistinguished 
by any obvious visionary. 
So sailing faultlessly, continuing 
home without treacherous impediments

I agree with Maurice--yours did flow well. Those 4-syllable end-lines were a pain, but your didn't come across too forced.

I really like yours Seren because it flows so well within the restrictions of the form. One of the few that does. Congratulations on your win. You more then deserved it.
