Title: Hook
Author: JMBarrie
Crushing the smiles
from their faces
with his cruel hook
his eyes glint like frozen ice.
He is James Hook,
captain of the Jolly Roger,
dressed in crushed velvet
embroidered with gold
and black leather boots
with silver buckles.
He stands tall and alert,
his senses prickling,
for he can feel
the waves in the air
for the smallest disburbance.
He is the only one that waits
for revenge, and kills
because he loathes an hates.
A childs' hand brushes his cheek
and the crow of laughter fills his ears,
he strikes with a flash of steel,
and his eyes grow red with anger.
It is in this cursed land where
eternal youth rules
he can never win.
