First to move #poem

 

our fleets will be clashing
in defensive position placed
each fleet slowly came closer
but none dared to attack
.
its formations would be broken
so its vessels ideally placed
would then be too well exposed
the attack would endanger them
.
the defense on the opposite side
would adapt and be advantaged
and therefore the first to attack
he had risked being massacred
.
like two opposing chess players
sitting there facing the other side
the other he must observe him
and its flaws he can find rapidly
.
and let him be the first to play
for there his attack be blocking
and the advantage be taking
then a defeat impose on him
.
it was days to observe each other
and without daring to attack ever
but reinforcements were expected
and they should change everything
.
but reinforcements never arrived
because peace had been signed
and the conflict had been settled
without a single shot being fired
