Formidable

Formidable

Great white looms, murk n brew,
Spume crimson, roar of thunder,Β 
Splintered mast, flag askew,
Tumult cries, aplomb asunder.

Boatswain a cadaver in ebbing waves,
Seamen cower amidst a scourge,
Battered vessel tests the brave,
Alpha scurries through flurries in purge.

Trawler rocked, capsized in breadth,
silhouette claims names of men,

Succumbed to angst, courage bereft,
Into the dark descends again.
