Through sunlight on shimmering
tepid blue waters,
antiquated, weary;
the vessel hesitates;
unforgiving is time.
Endless is her
journey
home.

You are so winning this, need I say more?

What a beautiful and serene poem with that wonderful undercurrent of melancholy. The contrast between these two really sets this one apart -- excellent mix perfectly blended.
Excellent.

Outstanding
I liked how you created a sense of timelessness in this poem, the sailing ship slightly out dated and yet at one with the ocean. You have created a poem that is rich in imagery and also very relaxing to read.Best of luck in the contest.
