a/n: I own no aspect of Pirates of the Caribbean.
This is dedicated to a gallant friend and exceptional storyteller, Nytd, lost a year ago, but never forgotten. Raising a glass of rum to you, ma'am:-)
A Pirate Hat
A pirate hat; with tales to tell;
Wild stories of what fate befell
A buccaneer; a tattered feather
Adorning salt-stained, wind-scarred leather.
His proud and black-pearled prize, as well.

A siren's call; the seas compel
Such men to leave safe shore, and weather
The maelstrom's wrath and storm-raised swell.
A pirate hat.

Uncharted depths where monsters dwell
And mermaids sing and cast their spell,
Where ancient codes, and curses tether
A battered crew and ship together,
And Hoist the Colours' words propel
Thoughts back to when one captain fell...
A pirate hat.
