Canonfire

Canonball  by  Pearcemelville

Canonball  tearing throughtimbertthick
planks 
Canonball  rips thrufleshthroughout
theotherside a hole;:

canonfire        CANONBALL!
        Fszzt fzt Water wave 
Cutlass STrikes  
Daggers dag 
Flintlock singles out
assassination

Pirate swing from boomrope
Young Naval Guards stand firm 
BooM!! Canonfire 
BooM! 

Pirate ship 
Due Archipelago
Naval Fleet Frigate
limps to Harbour Home
Bones that night work cut out
not a numbbing aggennt
to ease a groan...

Pirate Ship 
 due archipelago 
   Following One Star

Threads through reef
hidesincove drops anchor    
   Water Main concern

Waiting for Tide to turn to test

REEFSSS

RRsshh 
Waves against the timberhull 
Porpoises flew dived
   Seagull scrounging  circling   
  windwinding round
 pirateship
Set for plunder  richness
Following one star North
