Captain Samuel Bellamy

Pull up a chair and listen awhile
while I tell you this fine tale
What gave Samuel a pirate's smile
was the life he chose to sail

Just a young man so the tale is told
with dreams of sunken treasure
Left his family for jewels and gold
thinking of his own pleasure

Maria Hellett he then courted
a young girl he left alone
Not knowing his plans would be thwarted
Florida, by ship, he'd flown

Spanish gold he just could'n seem to find
causing him to change his plans
Black Bellamy, the pirate he signed
taking ships with evil hands

He had plundered more than fifty ships,
the Whydah his biggest prize
With his flag ship he made many trips,
a fortune filled greedy eyes

While heading homeward his fate was sealed
in forty foot waves off Cape Cod
The sea refused, Samuel, to yield
putting him in the hands of God

BRAVO!!! You tell of the legend and the wonderful morale of the story to God so wonderfully in this historically-based poem! (big hugggsssss) It's so great to see you posting again, I've missed you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet star, thank you for sharing!

I have always loved listening to pirate lore
and poetry that flows so well with it...

Thanks for this one, I knew nothing about this rascally pirate. A very well woven tale, straight from the seas of poetry.
