Ragweed: This one I wrote when I was in grade seven. I wrote it when I was watching a Native American tribal dance in Vancouver, B.C. where I live. It had nothing to do with Pirates of the Caribbean at the time but I think that it fits in well with the 'Island Scene' in Pirates. I've rewritten it so that it is a POTC poem. I made it from Elizabeth's point of view so it's the first one that is not from Jack's point of view (or it could be, I don't know) but I found the poem haunting when I found last week and read it for the first time in two three years. (I barely remembered that I had written it.) and I think it fits well.
I shall go dancing tonight,
The fires will burn high,
We will dance to the haunting beat,
And the fire will jump and dance with us,In high leaps,
In tall bounds,
And run with my feet in the sand,
And the sea will sing with us.

I shall go dancing tonight,
My he will dance with me, that wretch
And we will dance with the fire
And the fire blaze like a spear into the night,With soundless music,
And wordless songs,
And dance to rhythm-less beats,
And the sea will sing with us.

I shall go dancing tonight,
The cool night air dances with me,
The storm-rain will come as well,
And we will sit by the dieing fire,The sight of the rain,
The smell of lightning,
The feel of the thunder,
And let the sea take us away for the night.
I shall go dancing tonight
Ragweed: Yeah I know this ones I little weird but I like so there!
Jack: Oo I just don't get it.
