Lore of the Pirate Girl Scarves wrapped and tied about her head Hands firmly placed upon belted hips “ARRRGH, I am a pirate,” she softly growled And this chair is now my pirate ship!” A toddler child stood strong and tall Eyes slashed like shards of ice blue Confident in the face of deep waters She struck terror in all that she knew I shook in my breeches of scarlet red She brandished a rapier at the plank Fear chilled my bones and salted skin As I gazed at the boat she just sank Round tummy pushed out over her sash Few pirates created such a horrific sight This one was the most frightening of all Pillaging treasure under the dim moonlight Her sharpened sword held high over head She accessed the pirate booty and loot Eyes gazed upon gold, silks and perfumes Encased in rubber swashbuckling boots Imagination took hold of the story and soared The game played from chapter one to the end She’ll be back to raid more ships tomorrow On this little pirate girl I can depend … Alison [This message has been edited by aziza (05-17-2007 01:01 AM).] |

Thank you all ... laughs ... nope it's not me. I am the one on the plank! She doesn't see many movies and think the Pirates of the Carribean series are not on her allowed list. Honestly, I think the idea was spawned from a (gasp!!) book. Where in the world did she see a book!!!! A |

I miss the days when my children were small and days were spent involved in their fantasies...enjoy them while they're young Ruth I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |

"Round tummy pushed out over her sash Few pirates created such a horrific sight This pirate was the most frightening of all Pillaging treasure under the dim moonlight" LOL! This is just great!! Love this. JL Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

Thank you, thank you. I love this little girl and keep working on the poem before I give it to her parents. So, I changed it a bit. And James? Not for 16 years or so ... (laughs) .. she is only 2 and a half. Alison |
