The Ship in the Bottle

by Charlottei aged 10

swaying gently on the lulling waves
surrounded by clear, pellucid caves
when a storm hits just wait for a while
wait some more then the sun will smile

wooden ship slender and long
beside the ship a whale with a song
billowing flag white and fresh
the waves begin to crash and thresh

trapped in a bottle glassy and cold
sailing waters crashing and bold
try to escape you never will
anxiously feeling the deadly chill
