You did well creating a story in a poem using these words. I like your pirate tale and how they become rescuers. Excellent poetic form and use of words to tell a story in a poem.

Ah yes, the classical call, of the pirate captains swaggering behavior and distinctive voice. What a way to start a story that sparks interest in those who love these tales!
It seems you have at least some general understanding or done your research on titles of important peoples that belong on the ship. Have you yourself served aboard a shipping vessel? Spice as in excitement or literal seasonings? Regardless, you integrate the use of the topical words nicely, creating the start of what could be a classic endeavor of beloved pirate stories. It seems like you were having fun addressing the guidelines of the prompt, concocting a quick piece that could turn into a longer work if that was something you desired to do.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy participating in this contest, and I hope you did well in the competition!

Great integration of the required words for this contest.

The poem and the image accompanying it tie in well with its theme and tone.

Nicely presented.

The visuals were so great here, and so was the picture - that I felt immersed in the by-gone times.

Excellent use of the required words.

Great creative imagery. Loved the picture of the tall ship.

Best of luck in the contest.

This poem, A Pirate's Tale, uses the required words and tells of the spirited exploits of a gang of buccaneers on their way to adventure and glory.

You got all the words in that were required here and you set the scene for a story we we never told - disappointing that, I thought.

"Ahoy There, Matye's"; Now I may have missed the point but I think this is a typo and Mateys (rather than Matye's and without the apostrophe was intended here

These were challenging words to use in a poem, but you have done well on it. You have chosen a good picture to illustrate your poem. I hope you do well in the contest.
