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
