A Pirate's Adventure

By Alissa Hibst

The waves softly clashed
against the shiney, red sailboat
I hollered to my two best friends
to come hop on the sea-going craft.
We hobbled on like pirates,
ready to seize any helpless maiden
of her sparkling jewels.

The waves of the high sea
came crashing down upon us:
the two mighty six-year-old men
(with a peg leg, of course)
and the fair, royal run-away maid.

"I see a king's ship coming near!" the brawny man said.

We rocked the boat from
side...
to...
side...
drawing near on our prey.

In a moment a man was overboard,
and that man was I.

I had almost cleared the side of the boat,
the then
CRASH!

My head whipped back
as my chin came barreling down
upon the side of the ship.
It suddenly had become the color of the boat:
Blood red.

Well, here goes....
This is my first post. My entrance onto the scene publishing my inner thoughts for the world to see on the World Wide Web. So far haven't had any thougths that could warrant being put into words, but I'll get there. Lastly, in my most insignificant maiden post I would like to give a shoutout to Hibby and her Hubby. Love you!
