Hell's Gate

Lifepoems

The barometer was falling fast,
and the winds were pickin' up.
We secured the lifelines along the gunnel
and shortened sail for comin' tack.
Seas were runnin' high with great swells,
and hatches were battened down.
We all knew what was a comin',
for this small ship of the crown.
I took my place at the wheel with
orders to keep her before the wind.
She pitched and yawed off course,
and I rued the days I'd sinned.
By god, whatever happens
will be no fault of mine.
I'll steer this ship to hell's gate,
and not leave wheel before I'd drown.

Thank you for your kind words and good score. Maybe I'll be able to write something else you'll like.
Regards,
