Notes About The Poem
I did this for Jo Daniels contest i originally Titled it tri-metrical..But have altered it to try-metrical Playing on phonetics trying to cover two descriptions With one word..Maybe it'll work let me know what You reckon.? All blessings.)

Try-metrical '

A tireme was set to sail
Yet wind failed; to blow
Deploy oars it never fails

Once far enough out
Again they raised the canvas.'
The wind came as a !shout

The ship creaked and drove
The sails bellied so freely
Twas as when sins are shrove'

The cox'n sounded the bell
All the crew yelled and cheered
Music to a capt'ns ears i hear tell.?

It is a good idea to have oars if no wind blows.
