Sea Wolves

Galleons, uncharted oceans,
honest merchantmen take heed,
hijacked by the vile and shameless,
paradigms of pirate greed.

Storied legends blaze through ages,
rape and pillage mark the sway 
of buccaneers hell bent on mayhem,
cannons blast in fierce array.

Without compassion for a compass,
murderously resolute,
they take no prisoners, show no mercy,
sack the sea lanes, dissolute.

Galleons on uncharted oceans,
paradigms of pirate greed,
hijackers both vile and shameless,
honest merchantmen take heed!

Storied legends blaze through history,
rape and pillage mark the sway of
buccaneers hell bent on mayhem,
cannons blast in fierce array.

Without compassion for a compass,
murderously resolute,
they take no prisoners, show no mercy,

Feathered Galleons

FEATHERED     GALLEONS


Swans -  eight white-sailed galleons

Bobbing on the choppy River  Boyne,

Without tacking, heading into the wind:

Flotilla -  organised, disciplined,

Sailing in line ahead through the spray,

Their feathers fluttering in slight disarray

As they stroked their way upstream:

White eight on a  watery light beam.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

NOTE

The River Boyne is a very picturesque river in Ireland.
