An Extraordinary Acrostic

Exciting voyages aboard

xebec, with its sharp lateens,

travels the salt seas.

Rapacious corsair’s keel

across a world of plunder.

Ocean’s opportunity calls

riding waves, rowing calms.

Danger braved

in storms and squalls,

nightime’s peaceful starlight

air warm and steady abaft

rolling gently on the swell

yawing to the rudder’s pull.
