Waves
Beat 'pon
Fair maid who
Storm and wind braves
Her sisters sunk deep
In eternal wet sleep
Not a tear graced stoic stare
Barnacles and seaweed in hair
Faced with danger and destined for hell
She ferry's her masters o'er sea and swell

Lol, I'm no poet.

'Squawk' says the Parrot, softer than Captain.
'Swab the deck you good for nothing runt!"
His voice booms louder than the sea.
Eyes down, mop in hand swabbing,
My hands are always throbbing.
Riches are what I dream,
Work is how I live,
Gotta' end it.
Mutiny!
Right now,
Go.
Success!
No more mop,
No more Captain.
I am the Captain!
All riches shall be mine!
Walk the plank, you Scallywag!
'Ker-plunk' goes the former captain.
Riches and women we all will have!
Listen here, Let nothing stand in our way!



Interesting challenge! I failed itIts harder than I thought it would be.

Death
Looking
For me now,
Coming my way,
Praying I'm not found.
Hiding in the shadows,
Hearing screams from above me.
The pirates killing for our gold,
All I want is to make it back home.
Royal blood I am, there trophy I will be,
Nasty pigs those pirates, looking for me.
I hear footsteps coming down the stairs,
Every emotion running away,
A princess shouldn't be here.
Away from her family.
I can hear breathing,
A stinging pain,
Rips through me.
Darkness
Falls.

Wow... talk about a challenge. lol

Argh.
Blister
Me timbers.
Fearless pirate
I am! Pillaging,
Sailing and robbing her
dear, sweet, little majesty.
My boots are my soap box, I yell
to my lover the sea, sonnets of
dearest affection and my loyalty.

 

[Sarah]

Sail,
On waves
Of Ocean
Ever so blue.
Searching for treasure
And seeking out pleasures
And never; I shall never
Be taken from her ever blue.
By the sea I have been given life;
And to the sea I know I shall return.

 

[KamiJo]

Gold,

Shining,
Mesmerize.
The wooden leg,
Scuffed across the floor.
Argh! Ye matey! Yo! Ho!
The pirate ship's on the go!
Sailing through the rushing waters.
Sirens sing their entrancing song.
They await the man, their next kill. Hooray!
Don't you worry, it will be over soon.
They will make it quick, clean, painless.
You won't feel a thing, no way!
Make sure that you watch out,
There is more to come,
It's pirate life,
Crazy life,
Yo! Ho!
GO!


((That's the best I could come up with. It's not my best work.))

Pirate Life

Waves
Crashing
Wildly
Against the bow
Black sails billowing
In gusts of ocean spray
Canons launching balls of fire
Tearing down the enemy ships
Capture the crew, take all the treasure
And drink all their rum while they walk the plank.
