The Sea, Her Boldness and Gentility #Ltpp #June 29th

aye, the old man understood her chutzpah
appreciated her gentility too
was aware that the moon affected her behavior
and the favors she was willing to bestow on him every time
asking for nothing more than his loyalty in return

so that when he saw her capsize his boat
batter it and rough him about--
do with him what she pleased
he did not fight her
never for a moment afraid

then later that night, just before her rage subsided
and while she was still empowered by the moon
she pushed with all the strength of her middle
to return to his family what served her none--  
his vessel, the ensign to remember him by forevermore 
 

Inspired by a lovely photo prompt for Lynn’s Tuesday. Thank you Glen.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
