Ahoy! Land of thoughts on the starboard side!

Well shiver me timbers

buckle my boots

hoist the flag of truth.

Let all rogue thoughts walk the plank

for my mind is my cutlass.

Searching far and wide

across the globe

there are no treasures to speak of

as previously thought

for the real treasure lies within.

Andrew... how about a card game of Pirate's Cutlass...
The best treasures are within... always with a smile or grin.
Love Pirate lore and your poem is a Keeper. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Pat I do like pirate lore, so much fun and reminds me of Captain Blood starring Errol Flynn.

[Chris Shaw]

Being a boating enthusiast I enjoyed this jaunty little write, which also contained a wise message. All the best Andrew.

whimsically profound...
this cleverly engaging ink i personally find reminiscent from days of old nursery rhyme.

very much enjoyed, always a delightful treat to read your poetic gems ~ xx

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you very much ms barrie. What is that nursery rhyme called for I wonder whether the poem is mind now or just recalled memories!

[ms. barrie]

you’re most welcomed, Andrew :)

...the meter and rhyming scheme is what personally reminds me of a nursery rhyme of victorian times,
one that is definitely uniquely your own, is what i meant to say.

it’s most enjoyable piece - xx

the treasure, the real one would be the truth...
and that is so scarce these days...if you dig up that treasure, please let me know.
i am absorbed in this allegory, much so.
