Poem -
Deadly Corsair
My challenge "Pirates"
Abaft a rover on murky breadth,Β
Hempen halter at the ready,Β
Seadogs, scourge have tasted death,Β
Chantey, man-o-war & heady.Β
Crew who have tasted the Hempen jig,Β
Wreaths, once men from Davey Jones depth,Β
Sail the seven seas to dig,Β
For booty of gold means more than breath.Β
A yo ho ho & a bottle of rum,Β
All hands hoay, no prey, no pay,Β
Cutlass drawn, man the chase gun,Β
Splice the mainbrace, today's our day!Β
Canons aimed Midst shrill and laugh,Β
Plundered coin, sailors marooned,Β
Ghouls descend Midst tempest Black,Β
Corsair the dead in loot & croon.Β
