I remember it well, we travelled down to Plymouth in a hired car, there we boarded a massive ship of the line called Ocean, then we spent 10 days looking for bad weather from Plymouth to the Isle of Skye, just reminded me of that trip, all those days and the sea was like a mirror.. Good Pay though lol.
Your piece could be tidier but I guess it is free form which I write so I cant and wont complain.
Take care and keep writing,
Yours Ian.T

but can imagine from the descriptions you give. Only thing I see, is that you have capitalized every line, which you needn't. Or shouldn't, because there are lines that are obviously part of the same sentence, which kind of makes the rhythm feel stilted. I think that you could do without the last two lines or expand them to make sense of the thoughts. Is it along or alone North Parade? ~ Geezer.

I was not aware of the lady bug event and looked it up. I think your poem is written well, and really can add anything except, perhaps, one last thought to connect this event of Biblical proportions with some other apocalyptic like event...either personal or other, or a foreboding of things to come...taking the poem out of the descriptive to a larger statement...

as far as the caps, I am on the other team. I cap, and agree with Alberto Rios why:•to remind myself that I am writing a poem;

•to underscore to myself the integrity of the line, which is after all what distinguishes poetry from all other literary genres;
•to connect myself to history for a very brief moment before I go on to say what I myself have to say now;
•to give each line--however subtle--its own authority;
•to suggest that, although I may be telling a story, it is not a regular story, and certainly not prose;
•to make my enjambment have to work honestly, and to give my end-stopped lines greater Moment;
•to build up thoughtful pacing in a poem, suggesting or invoking a little more strongly all the reasons we break lines to begin with--breath, heartbeat, dramatic intention;
•to recognize this use of the shift key as a self-conscious act, which raises the stakes for everyone and everything--the poem, the poet, and the reader;
•to do more work in this small moment, knowing that work makes more things happen;
•to rhyme--that is, to use this recurring, predictable device of capitalization in the ways that poems have often used many devices, such as rhyme, to give structure and sensibility to the poem; knowing that I'm going to capitalize the first word in each line gives all my poems at least some rudimentary structure;
•to understand that a poem cannot be contained--rather, it launches outward and away from what we know; that is, capitalizing the first letter of a line can be predicted and controlled ahead of time, but that's all that can be controlled, so that the poem, each line of the way, is launched, and this launching, this kicking away from the shore of the left margin is always an act of power, imagination, and adventure.

So keep caping. For the above reasons, it feels right to me too, and we are in the majority if you take a survey of the poetry published in major publications and major poets.
