Hails upon stormier tempestuous
sea surges, ascending, mountainous
waves crashing, splattering, appallingly
Strikes against lighthouse's sentinelling
Beam glowing, rebuffing, unremitting
High tidal's signature magnificence
To prevent maritime catastrophes
Whence before radar-scope inventiveness
Contest name: The Lighthouse
