X Marks the Spot


X marks the spot
where we both stand
a pirate and his bounty
a treasure and a man
And when our vows are spoken
and our sails are set for life
I will thank the Seven Seas for all of life's treasures
and my darling, Pirate Wife...bkm

written for Alphabet Thursday  link here or on Alphabet Thursday badge on the right         X is the letter this week...my first entry

  4. I love this poem! My hubby is a retired Army aviator and his flight class were known as the Purple Pirates :o) (Each flight is given an identifying class color-the dark purple was theirs...Pirates are what they chose to be.)

    Blessings & Aloha!
    (I also went back and read all your other posts...)

  5. Have you hugged an x today?
    Happy to have wandered here from Ms Jenny's class. She sure is a nice teacher :)
    And allowing us all to visit one another during recess is so "cool".

    Indeed the rhythm is pulsating...
    and the verbiage succinct and bright!
    Well executed~ :)

    This poem just "sang" to me. What rhythm you wrought here with words...such amazing skill.
