Upon the turqouise, misty sea
a pirate ship floats lazily.

Sails down on a windless night,
her beauty is of graceful might.

Along her cannoned broadside trails,
a merchants ship with ragged sails.

Booty from exotic lands,
silk for ladies, gold for man.

The pirates fought like losing men,
only to win at evenin’s dark end.

April, 1984
