Great poetic description of what can happen at sea. Your words are unique with the acrostic form. I imagine many trawlers lost their catch with rough seas, your poem gives them a voice.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your contest entry is in good form, Aussie. I enjoyed reading it. Your words are intense and filled with the immediacy of the trawler needing to get to safety. Your details are vivid and make readers feel as if they are right there in the trawler. Great color scheme. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Hi Jan, Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed. We have many trawlers up in the Gulf of Carpentaria fishing for prawns. So you call them shrimp. Nothing shrimpish about our banana prawns, as thick as your thumb and 6 inch long. In the shops we pay $30 Kg! Love, Kay XX
Comment from Susan Newell
Very nice acrostic showing the risks at sea, and how much work and product can be lost when the weather turns ugly. The sea can be merciless. I like that after the storm, fisherman just start over. I really like "Revealing oceans ready to plow." Nice job.

Good luck with the Acrostic Poetry Contest, Kace. I loved the picture, it reminded me of the east coast of Canada. Your words brought the truth of the situation, many a times the weight of the fish in nets could indeed sink a boat. Well done.

Hello Alie, Thanks so much for your good wishes. We are seafaring folk and the trawlers go deep for the banana prawns (shrimp) thick as your thumb and 6 inch long - nothing shrimpish about that size. They are caught and frozen on board the boats. Love, Kace.

Wow, that is amazing, Kace, nothing that I am aware of here. You are so welcome, my friend.
Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Kace, a well written acrostic that tells a good story. Good accompanying picture. The weather we are having over here is exactly what trawlers will be experiencing. It's awful - wet and ferocious winds. Can't believe it's May. Hope you are well and staying free from the damn Pendamic that's still prowling round. Take care - love Dorothy xx

Hello Dorothy, I'm glad you liked the acrostic. We are seafarers and many trawlers fish the Gulf of Carpentaria way up north for prawns. Our banana prawns are as thick as your thumb and six inches long. The men cook and freeze tiger prawns onboard, the banana prawns are sold uncooked. Expensive @ $30 Kg. Our state had only 1 covid case today. Thanks to our Premier who closed the borders straight away - we now lead the world as a safe country. Still, we are not allowed to travel overseas except NZ. Any cases that pop up are from India. They are allowed home because they became 'Australians' this really annoys me. UK is overrun with Paki's. When I was in London, I told the cabbie he was the first real Brit I had met!
I just don't believe a piece of paper suddenly turns a foreigner into an Aussie. There is enough trouble here over the treatment of First Nation folks being treated like second-class citizens. So, you are having ferocious winds and rain. I will never forget being in Fort William, Scotland and the seas were so rough I nearly got swept away! What made it funny was a lone Scot was walking along the waterfront playing the pipes! Hee, Hee. Bet the wind got up his kilt. Love K xx

Hi Kay,
Exactly right, can't help feeling for the sailors for whom this is their livelihood, but from the point of view of the fish, a lucky escape. A fresh and original acrostic poem, smoothly written with a nice flow. Good wishes for your entry in the acrostic contest.

Trawler is an Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry That within its restrictions tells the story of a seagoing fishing trawler. The boat is then pulled under by the waves. All is lost, the fish swam away and the ocean shows no signs of distress. thanks for sharing.

No, it didn't go under because they cut the fishing nets free. If left, the weight of the fish-haul would have sunk the boat. Thanks for reading and god bless you. Kay XX
