Eight-line Poems

Doldrums

Doldrums

Silent in the sapphire seas
Tempests tamed by time
Under the ululating updrafts and
Vertical vermilion vaults
Without the wandering winds
Xebecs exult in ecstacy
Yachts yearn for yardmasters in
Zenith of the Zeeland zone.

Prompt: Write a poem in which every line starts with a consecutive letter of the alphabet. Begin with any letter you wish.
Note: I chose the last letters of the alphabet to make things more interesting, the alliteration for the same reason. The nautical theme chose itself!
