The Flying Dutchman
Hoisted high Black flags sail, Camouflaged by a misty veil, A bow braced with forward guns, Upon a ship no-one outruns, This sight was seen through a scope, A view of horror crushing all hope, Terror races through the ship, For they are within Davy Jones grip, Bustling panic to throw weight over the side, Anything and everything to save their hide, Dark swells...

Premium Member Once there were Pirates
Eons ago pirate ship sailed oceans wild Old Jolly Rodger flew proudly in the wind It met its demise when crew were beguiled On merciless rocks it was pinned. These days just a pile of rotting timber Lead treasure chest is who knows where Crew long dead are spirits that whisper When they died did they utter a prayer? White bleached bone...

Premium Member Overtaken By Pirates
red morrel mushrooms that always overgrew they annoy me sometimes, how about you? hey! who invited Captain M’s pirate crew? They are rude and always spit in the awful beef stew They all pretend they cannot find the loo I smell them as they come in, they smell like mildew they are reeking up my living room through and through can’t you...

Pirates
Their ships must ride a rolling sky, masts too high to sail into view. They appear, board the land, they buccaneer. The clamoring mob fall upon a scuttling prey pluck the weakest into hungry holds. An eye-aye cocked and ready, they raid and maraud as only treasure seekers can. The gulls are here and for a while sea and land broil. the air erupting with mutinous calls....

Premium Member Ode To Captain Maron Or Pirates Remember
Pirates Remember In the days of old, the ships were bold, and went anywhere they pleased. They were men, hard men, real men... released from the burdens of mud on their shoes, traded in favor of swimming with the sirens barefoot, at the very real risk of losing their souls. Treasures of cold... gold, in the far south...

Tropical breezes waft across a sea of empyrean bliss as a lost ship, the The Golden Dragon, cast it’s indigo shadow upon turquoise waters. Parrots preening one another, were the welcoming party for weary travelers. whispering leaves on trees twisted with the winds of ages, graced the morning light upon the shore. Down Anchor and a shoreward visit to this seraphic isle, gave...

Premium Member Brave Men of Old
I’ll speak of me past of stories once told. Of men that rode waves out in the cold. Tales of the strong, the courageous, the bold. Most of them died young, a few were quite old. The things that they done sent chills up my spine. They’d eat mush and swill and drink rum and wine. When they were happy, they...

Premium Member Lets Be Pirates
Let’s be pirates Sammy suggested to her Halloween-loving dad. He immediately pictured her dressed as a whipping boy lad. She came downstairs looking like a sexy pirate queen wench. Father stormed out to tinker in his garage, using his workman’s bench. What is wrong? The girl asked her more than a tiny bit amused mother. If you do not...
