Poseidon's Realm

===============================
Be warned, who goes there at his helm!
This corner of Poseidon's realm
belongs to ME.

From shiny crest to briny floor,
horizons ledge to edge of shore, 
I OWN this sea!

Herein, a vessel named as thine
shall be reclaimed and hence be mine - 
as will it's BANK

But fear ye not! When faced with dues
defaulters, in debts place, may choose
to walk the plank!

I am the Ocean's rebel son
and devils work is never done,
so, I set sail...

Forever after, young again,
both Cabin Boy and Captain in
this pirates tale...

Thanks, Dre. Yeah, this format is very challenging but of course, that's what makes it fun, right?

Thank you Frederic. Same to you if you've entered. Oddly, I've noticed that this particular poem seems to have a different effect on men than it does on women. Perhaps because it's written from a man's point of view? Whatever the reason, I find that interesting...
