Best Pirate Ship Poems

We love to paint, my muse and I.
It does not matter what – walls, doors, furniture, bricks.
Canvas painting is especially satisfying.
Drawing weird stuff is relaxing and pleasant, but here is where it gets freaky fun.
Adding the colors.  We LOVE adding color, the brighter and...

Black Pearl Pirate Ship versus Hurricane Bertha
August 9th 2014.

Liverpool was a mighty port
New Brighton stood by Perch Rock Fort
The Black Pearl sat on Wirral sands and stone
And against Hurricane Bertha stood alone
Bertha howled and shrieked anew
A massive wind that blew and blew
Waves and tides lashed...

An Ancient crazy Ox, 
Once had a whacking job,
Breaking on the dance floor,
One too many holes to show!
 
A sleepy grizzly bear on four,
Drinking ale with a drunkard 
boar,
On board a rocking Boat with 
one oar,
Singing 'bottles of rum' from 
Jamaica to Singapore!
 
Mind me...

Deeply incarcerated in the sands of time
Your life changes with the flip of a dime

Stuck in purgatory without your guide
Broken and shattered stuck in my pride

Smiles cast away the thoughts that boil inside
Your so far away --- who will I confide?

Outraged and irate I take...

In middle of Mediterranean Sea
Lies a petrified pirate ship
She froze in place during a fierce battle
Her secrets and treasures locked inside
Wait here.
Treasure map coming soon...

The pirate ship sailed the high seas
Looking for other ships to seize
Taking jewelry, mainly gold
Those pirates were bold
Until they robbed a ship fill with disease...

As August day darkens with sunset

There are always those
Who cannot let go of the summer

The sail of the boat on Torch Lake
First a yellow flame
To the match of last sunray

Now
With the hills extinguishing last light

Sail becomes ash gray of a hard rain
Dissolving to black night

No...

Things were going so well
Warm summer days
    of love , friendship and peace
It seemed that they would
     go on forever
        But what's that 
I see in the distance?

Heathens, scamps and thieves were lying in wait around the cove
Could not see them in gray dusk, but Captain Tawny Right felt them
Being an empath, as well as an Irish pirate queen, she was clairaudient.
She sent word by way of whipping boy for all hands...

     Once upon a time,
     A pirate ship came to mind.
     Large and flowing,
     With figure head all knowing.
     Leading the ship day and night,

My health is back; I am almost normal
I had been in the bowels of depression
after eight weeks of shingles that took me out and shook me

I saw my friends yesterday, for the first time 
Seeing them is a great way to generate poem ideas
Their stories...

There once was a pirate from Antilles
That chased all the young beautiful fillies
To all a deception vow 
Carving of them on ships bow 
Lies brought doom, now lies in field of lilies

Doctor with his lanky pirate legs
Aptly put together Gimpy’s pegs.
On the Seven Seas
Said it was a breeze
We know little about Captain Meggs

Please do not feed me your rotten eggs
Young captured cabin boy often begs
Captain liked his pleas.
Steered us to the Keys.
To secret treasure and hidden...

Ocean surge, reflecting moon
Mermaids, sirens swim and swoon
Haunting song, night and day
Tethered boat just sailed away
Seadog specter with loud cuss
Shot himself with blunderbuss.

Erstwhile pirate ship revealed
Crew long dead their fate was sealed
Zombies scale tattered rigging
Captain Kyd counts his shilling
Sound of cutlass, who walked plank?
Bag of...
