an interesting exercise
but i wouldn't want to tryto
make either living or reputation
w/o an E
roll and pitch, pitch and roll
run from harbour
bar and rocky shoal
till this blow is past
roll and pitch roil and pitch
up and down
round and round
mast again the sky
roll and pitch, roll and pitch
down and up
stay afloat
far from land
roll and pitch, pitch and roll
stand the blow
pitch and roll
till the storm is past
pitch and roll, roll and pitch

to answer jude's question the title is excluded
"no harbour" would be a better title in keeping with the challenge
You did well, however.
ebb and flow you captured with this poem!
