A Pirate's Last Wish
Poem About a Sea Pirate Who Lost His Wife
Emotions toil and rumble, like the unpredictable sea.
Crashing and crashing, they collide.
Clouds roll in, thunder claps.
A captain takes a swig of his rum, he had just lost his wife.
"Take me!" he calls to the storm. "Take me, and leave me no more!"
Lightning strikes; he cackles. For fear is far from his bones.
Waves begin to climb the ship, rocking it like a newborn's crib. "Take me." He whispered brokenly.
Lightning strikes thrice; once for his wife, the ship, and alas, him.
"Yo, ho, yo, ho, the pirate's life killed me."

Stained
The branches of the naked skeletal tree bended with the wind. Night was becoming, the moon would soon be here, and so would fear. Dead leaves scattered across the icy ground, there was no one to be found--or seen. But there were eyes watching, that were keen.
