Drifting out at sea
The power unfolds underneath us
Constant rocking of the sea
The mainstay sways gently
Steady and true
An attribute for a captain
Decisions made on spot
Guilty nightmares
Shameless acts of greed
The sounds of cleaning
Heard throughout the vast freedom
Roaming the seas unheard
Ragged clothes
Rancid smell
The showings of a true pirate
Quick on ones feet
Full of witty comebacks
Attracted to shiny things
Cannons and guns
Powder and swords
The perfect hat
Nothing without a coin or two
The salty spray
A rhythmic pulse
The beat of life
Freedom, a costly gamble
A spinner's luck
A valued achievement

Interesting. The fun part about assigning words like Mainstay and the like is that you never know which definition of that word the poet will use. You descided to go with the really literal meaning; which is, of course, as part of a ship. Really good work on this, Once again, thanks for entering, and best of luck in the contest!
