The wind

[Nick]

Carries its freight,
rattle and clang,
trails anchors into land.

Sea storms and poppies, Do you need this comma?
greet an old sailor,
slopping early rise rum.

Flutters the skirt, And is this comma required?
of his Cancan tattoo, Props for the Cancan reference
spits out Tobacco bits Why the cap on tobacco?
rolled for his first brew.

Smoke blows complaints
in sheltered accommodation,
drinks to remember
a perilous occupation.

A nice bit of work.
Thanks.
