Pirate Poets


Dream Wench

Recommended Posts

No need ta stop

as ye dice and ye chop

the poets are comin' they say

we'll sit in tha galley

or in a dark alley

and we will write Poems all day

We promise not to bore ya

but often we'll snore ya

cos we run out of "clever" some times

but never fear

tha Poets are here

and Pirates don't run out o Rhymes !

Rhymes lass? I think that some of me better poems have been non rhyming ones... though I must admit, I do tend to fall into rhyme a lot in me poetry....

Because the world does revolve around me, and the universe is geocentric....

I never dreamed that poems were Pop

Tho' that is where they be

It's evident this board is lost

Without a Bard like me.

To place the inspiration of a

Muse 'longside of Sparrow

Shows a degree of carelessness

Nay - more, a thought that's narrow.

But in the end, I guess, it shows

How we are merely labels

If Shakespeare were to come on board

They'd prob'ly ban his fables.

But woe is me to disagree

I'm but a stranger here

My words henceforth shall become scarce

'cause banishment I fear.

If Banishment shud be yer fate

there be deeds much worse than Rhymes

A rude awakening comes ta those

who slap a clock that chimes.

Or a man who kicks a sleepin' dog

or tells a child "git lost"

Bein a cold hearted no good fool

will pay a higher cost !

Dream Wench

fer Phil an his honest ways :lol:

Excuse me all, though I stand tall

Some things do make me sick

I'm not the nicest guy around

Young children I do kick

It's not so much the banishment

I guess, that stokes my fears

Jes' that a board on Pyracy

Should bring forth mirth AND tears

We like to play at being mean

Romanticize our deeds

But poetry can oft fulfill

Some greater, inner needs

This grand illusion that we love

This calling to the sea

Is well and good yet do I think

We need reality

Some might argue that poems and such

Are just a waste of time

If that be true, I'm telling you

The time it wastes is mine

...fer example...

Her sun-kissed hair was tossed about

Like ships in roiling sea

Three days I spent in hot pursuit

In hopes she'd notice me

The last day broke with torrents strong

My chance at last was near

To give her a fine parting shot

Her heart, hopefully, spear

A hand-writ note in finest ink

On paper bled by rain

Attempted to explain to her

My inner lovelorn pain

Then at long last the note was passed

A moment became years

I waited long with bated breath

Would I see joy or tears?

Her sun-kissed hair receeded then

A swivel to her hips

An aging pyrate's last reward:

A kiss from ruby lips.

Now that be jes a little ditty that came about from a pyrate/Ren Faire function I were attendin'...aye, it might be a waste o' tyme to some, but ta ME, it was EVERYTHING. To some, talk o' drinkin' and the latest Holly-would movie are mas importante - to me, they be smoke and mirrors, shadows and dust...

Pyrates are not democratic, this I be knowin'...but then, in a REAL Pyrocracy, NONE o' us would be on a 'lectronic board - we'd be out haulin' ashes...so my question be -

Who be wise enough to pass judgement on th' worth o' a piece o' writin'?

I don't claim to be wise, but I do like that "ditty", PyratePhil.

--------------------------

This is a poem I wrote for MerryDeath on her birthday. I posted it before, but I'll repeat it here:

The Angel of Death

Her merry laughter fills the pub

Where the sailors gather

They buy her rum and crowd around

Her affection they are after

A siren from the ocean deep

Her beauty is enthralling

She smiles and listens with intent

To tales they are recalling

A handsome pirate steals her eye

A heavy purse he carries

With gold and silver he makes to woo

But his actions make her wary

"Alas, m'lord, I'm not a wench.

You cannot buy my kisses.

I, too, a skull and crossbones fly.

None stand against my wishes."

He draws his blade, but much too slow

Her loveliness, it blinds him

The sorceress, her deadly spell

Has captured him and binds him

The woman with the blackened heart

Offers up her best:

A cutlass swept across his throat

A dagger in his chest

She leaves a kiss upon his lips

A wine-sweet taste that thrills him

Yet as she spills the pirate's blood

'Tis a broken heart that kills him

:lol:

M'lady Wench (...that be soundin' a might odd...)

From Hallows Eve I need's reprieve

From plastic pyrate toys

From greasepaint beards 'n' rayon coats

From men become young boys.

I always say's a pyrate's soul

Lies deep within their skin

To cheapen it with Hong Kong stuff

To me, is mortal sin.

So when the tricksters do appear

And beg for candy sweet

I'll give 'em all a pyrate "Hi":

Black boots on size 12 feet.

She

Mermaid

Flowing Hair

Ravishing Tail

Waits for her Pirate

To come in his great ship

When he does they get away

They hold hands and swim together

neath the moon to an island

they kiss passionately

Gives her a gold charm

with his warm hands

and strong arms

Captain

He

She was Garbrielle the Belle of The Pirate Ball.

The word had spread to every port o' call

that a beautiful lass

who was known by all,

was coming to the dance at the Marriott hall.

Gabrielle The Belle of The Pirate Ball.

She'd been in the parade,

on a float so tall,

in a gorgeous dress,

not bought at the mall.

The mateys when they saw her,

on their knees did fall.

Gabrielle The Belle of The Pirate Ball.

When she entered the party as many would recall,

the line to dance with her went to the far wall.

Her beauty even caused the band's tempo to stall.

Gabrielle the Belle of The Pirate Ball.

All the other women

began to resign,

that their dresses didn't rate

to her lovely design.

Each seemed like a meager

little shawl

compared to Gabrielle The Belle of The Pirate Ball.

The Captain Sets sail.

He searches for his treasure.

He spys a mermaid.

She waves right to him.

She is a beautiful one.

He dives to meet her.

They swim together.

The Captain kisses her hand.

She kisses him back.

The mermaid leads him

to where his treasure is found.

He tries to take it.

The waves get restless.

She leads him back to his ship.

She has saved his life.

His treasure is her.

Not gold or silver doubloons.

He loves her always.

A Captain's Longing

A pyrate captain sails the sea.

A lovely mermaid he doth spy.

With her he doth wish to be.

Or that he would rather die.

So to her side he did flee.

Her lovely name he did cry.

Their hearts did beat so rapidly

for a love that neither could deny.

Here be a romance of a mermaid n Hook.

There she dreams of him,

in the Neverland Lagoon,

waiting for his ship.

He sails in close by,

sees her from the quarter deck,

in the still moonlight.

Then James Hook cries out

to the lovely mermaid lass,

"Will she come aboard?"

Her heart is racing.

She has dreamt of being held

in his arms so strong.

He kisses her deep,

on her lips so ruby red,

making her so hot.

With his hook he strokes,

up and down her golden hair,

giving her the chills.

She feels his muscles,

with her hands so soft and smooth.

He breaths deep and slow.

They dive off the deck,

and swim to her layer below,

to make wild romance.

They love each other.

Captain Hook and the mermaid,

are a couple now.

My Dearest James

My dearest James Hook

I want to be your lover

by your side on board.

My dearest James Hook

I wish to be your mermaid,

to guide you safely.

My dearest James Hook

I wish for you to hold me

and stroke my long tail

My dearest James Hook

I dream of you each evening

in the still moonlight.

Hook and His Maid

The beautiful mermaid

comes to the surface.

Her gorgeous shadow

reflects on the tide.

She takes a deep breath

of the fresh sea air.

Waiting for her captain to sail on by.

She waits with each wave

and with each gentle breeze.

She waits.

She waits

with a tear in her eye.

The handsome James Hook

is on the main deck.

He stands like a trophy

leading his crew.

He looks through his scope

out on the horizon

hoping to see his mermaid love.

He looks at the small waves

down below.

He looks.

He looks

at the large waves above.

The Mermaid and Hook

spy each other.

Their hearts are beating

and their spirits both rise.

He dives overboard

and swims quickly toward her

wanting to hold the desire of his life.

They kiss as they meet.

Their lips well connected.

They kiss.

They kiss

like a new man and wife.

The stormy winds blew

It made the mermaid feel sad

Her Captain's ship lost

The rain was quite strong

The waves were out of control

She had lost her love

Alas it all broke

The storm was moving away

The winds were dying

The sun it did show

She could see her love again

It made her feel warm

His ship made it through

The mermaid swam out to him

They were together
