Mike,

 

I didn't manage to read this thread until this morning.  Returning to the
original event, congratulations.

Topgallants Full

 

 

            Beneath crumbling pink clouds

            We saw through blistered glass

            The air filled with our approach

            As we tiptoed in

 

            Under the wrinkly white glare

            Of yellowed ivory elephants

            And varnished brown Chinese

            Miniature men of war,

 

            With spear tips preternaturally

            Sharp, but gentle and delicate.

            We saw a ship, framed

            On a wall

 

            Where even the top sails

            Were full.  We raced

            The sea waves in mid ocean

            Beneath pink crumbling clouds.
