O briny queen! O balliant lady!
My cup of luck! It doth brim with plenty
that I may gaze upon thy dorphal excellence,
beauty enough to make Poseidon envy.
To claim I lie is to forfeit sense,
and a callow existence it doth mirror.
For even the kiss of Williams summer day
cannot compete with thy dazz’ling spendour.
The Breezy cloak of Boreas
doth engulf thee in its gusty embrace
and fill thy mighty, glamoured gown
as thou ridest thy salty savage steed.
The fickle waves do leap in earnest
to plant their frothy, wisped kiss
upon thy slender wooded breast
yet thou brushest them by and travel past.
O noble queen! O divine lady
My humble heart! It doth quiver joyous
For your presence banish all infernal
and thou shalt grace the sea eternal.

I was kind of aiming for this poem to be hard to understand and for the subject matter to be unclear as to whether I am describing a woman or a ship. It is describing a ship though. Let me know if I acheived my aim.
By the way, both balliant and dorphal are made up words I have invented. Balliant means radiant and magnificent. Dorphal means beautiful but can only be used in an aquatic context e.g. to describe boats, fish, waves. Wisped is pronounced wisp-ed.
