Car Ship

​

Like a giant iceberg

Broke loose from Arctic shelf
The massive ship moves upstream
The sea here to itself
The dawning sun illuminates
Its side of shining white
Dwarfing other vessels
A most imposing sight
Stacked inside its towering bulk
Are cars - another load
To come ashore at Portbury Dock
And then to hit the road.
