No rush though, there's plenty else to do here in the meantime. No rush! We could write about the time you traveled the universe in your past life and the crazy things you did to survive.

Great poem, Quantum12!
I'm glad you added the backstory because I was struggling with the subtext. I love watching competition sailing and have followed the America's Cup since the early 2000s; the Louis Vuitton Cup being the most recent event. So, my mind just stayed in sailing mode whilst reading your work. All the while knowing there was more too it, but couldn't pin it down. The story that inspired your poem is pretty dramatic and frightening and you captured its essence perfectly.

I saw some images of the event and those boats are beautiful, especially when the wind fills those colourful spinnakers. I also read that they recently completed the 115th race... so it's been going on for a long time.

When I write I forget that the output is coming from my head and no one knows what I am talking about lol. You always figure it out lol!

Some of your works have had me thinking outside the box… hell, throw away the box; we’re in 4D chess, tesseract territory. Quantum by name, quantum by nature.

I could also put it in Collaborative Writing, but I'll go for more general purpose just to cover some extra bases. Any ideas can go there if ever/whenever someone gets around to it. I don't always write every day, but when I'm here I'm usually writing, something.
