Finding the Great Ships

Discovered by three cousins on a lark Ahoy Maties! I’m captain of this ship. One rapidly named himself Captain Stark. But this isn’t fair the third gave them lip. You be the Kill Boy, when we get to see Okay, he agreed, for he was but four Push them in the water one said with glee But these great ships were stuck hard on the shore. He is not pushing his weight said brother. Cousins had a fine day playing pirate. Sh! You’ll alert Dee and then our mother. Same time tomorrow they whispered, quiet? At lunch grandma asked what they did all day Were you in the barn, did you ride the horse? Giggling foolishly they dared not say Their savvy grandpa probably knew of course. He was grateful they were down by the pond With their imaginations fully on. Written 6-16-2016 Contest: Choices Poetry Contest - Sonnet Picture: Number One Sponsor: Sara Kendrick
