The Pirate
The pirate captain was standing at the docks of the cove
ready to set sail on his big, shiny boat
His ghost grey beard
was ruined by the drip of oil
running down his chin
His hypnotic blue eyes
were so intimidating
like sharks in the waves
His copper earrings
were rusted,
big as gold bars
His pitch-black pirate hat
had a golden skull and crossbones
faded into the leather
His cheek had a trickle of blood
red as jam
His mouth had a cigarette
poking out with puffs of smoke
coming out the end
I love the line “ghost grey beard”. Thank you for submitting your poem to TeachingLive!
