Good luck. Karen

This is amazing!! You must of put a lot of thought into this. This reminds me of when my mom would tell me stories as a child, and I'm on the edge of my seat. It has an excellent flow and rhyming scheme. It couldn't be any any better. Well done!!

May your pen continue to be blessed,
Melbelles

The King's men seem more ruthless than pirates.. Exceptional rhyme and meter in this well told tale of days of yore.. Looking forward to Part 2, The Revenge of the Pirates..

Stay safe and blessed

I enjoyed your story poem. I don't know that I've ever read that before. I enjoyed the pace of your poem and the use of imagery. I felt as though I was on the ship.

Part one is very good, I look forward to part two. I love the rhymes. I like to read it out loud and hear the sounds and flow of the words. It has a good cadence to it. The story is good also. I am assuming part two is the revenge. Good work.

Visions of Robert Louis Stevenson!
"and that's when they saw" - works if you're British, I suppose (lol)
It's funny, what actions become 'pay back' ... I hit you 'cause you hit me, 'cause I hit you, 'cause you hit me, 'cause ...
Best wishes.

An excellent story in a poem! Smooth metre and rhyme, and a good flow. I would suggest capitals for Wild Boar in your last stanza as it is the name of an inn. (It's correct in the second stanza.) looking forward to reading the next part.

A perfect example of a story in a poem! I could almost hear this as a wild seafarer's song, raised rum, and booming voices! The more dangerous and wilder, the better! Your rhyme moves the action forward at an ever-increasing pace. I was swept up in your tale! Bring on part two!

Wow! a rollicking good tale ( perhaps it's actually true' told with such vigor and verve but it's the language of that era of piracy in which it is clothed that brings it to life on the page - a job so well done !
