Pirates Poetry

[trinityday]

Some years ago, instead of a drabble challenge over at Black Pearl Sails, we had a poetry challenge. I wrote a limerick and a cinquain (defined as five lines with the syllables distributed as follows: 2, 4, 6, 8, 2)

Title: Blacksmith Named Will

There once was a blacksmith named Will,
All pirates he had sworn he would kill.
Practicing three hours a day,
Foil, sabre and épée,
So all swords he could handle with skill.


Title: Freedom

Freedom
Ever seeking
Always striving towards
A keel, a haul, a deck and sails
Black Pearl
