So beautifully rich - I'm presently wharfside in waiting for the lighting of the holds - the spoils such cargos could offer in those days - brilliantly executed as per usual - I love it!
Best regards
Terry

Today the pirates take their prize
with motor launch and fierce, red eyes
The pitch and tar of yesteryear
Made slower ships to roll and rear.

Armadas once displayed the pride
of ships that looked like dancing brides,
Today, the ships with metal cast
are light and sleek and very fast.

At thirty knots the ship empowers
The Atlantic cross in ninety hours
And smooth a silk they plow the waves
like sharpened hatchets plow the braves.
