What a terrific swap quatrain poem, author. This is one for all ages as who hasn't imagined sailing the seven seas and finding a whale.

Your form is perfect as is metre and rhyme and theme just a pure delight.

Best of luck in the contest. This is really good.

The swapped lines that encapsulate each verse add to the rhythmic flow of this, when joined with the regular iambic rhythm of your poem. A poem that brings back delightful memories of when capturing the monsters of the deep was mere child's play!
