Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Ups and Downs of Sailing

At first a perfect sailing day,

Sunny and warm and a calm breeze.

So many sailboats made their way

Out in the sea waters to seize

Such an opportunity of

Fun, skill and camaraderie

Of sailing, a sport all did love.

But, the storm came up suddenly,

Caught at sea and on land off guard.

All sailboats tried to return to

Safe harbor, for all it was hard.

Nature could kill, all sailors knew.

Most sailboats made the safety sought,

Later, search for those that did not.
