after the seas-ship

After the Sea-Ship 

After the Sea-Ship�"after the whistling winds;

After the white-gray sails, taut to their spars and ropes,

Below, a myriad, myriad waves, hastening, lifting up their necks, 

Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship: 

Waves of the ocean, bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,

Waves, undulating waves�"liquid, uneven, emulous waves,

Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves, 

Where the great Vessel, sailing and tacking, displaced the surface.

Nice, but doesn't belong in this weeks 10 Words I Give contest, as none of the 10 words are included in this poem.
