I finally managed to come up with something for this week's drabble challenge at Black Pearl Sails--

But You Have Heard Of Me

Fleeting beauty has its uses,
Sun-kissed skin, and smiling lips;
And one’s effects are well enough:
Sharp-edged swords, and sable ships.
But history craves a deeper theme:
Tales of courage, sly delights,
A heart comprised of black and gold,
As true as starry summer nights.

AH HA! I *knew* you could (see last nights reply to your reply to Hereswith's "Spirit of the Sea")and you did not disappoint. Absolutely lovely. Every. Last. Word. Very much worth the wait.

It was actually due to your encouragement that I kept trying--usually when a piece of writing doesn't just fall from the pen I give up on it pretty quickly, and set it aside for another day.

I'm glad you liked it. And it rhymes! WhooHoo!
