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.

Yay! The words did co-operate, after all ;-) Beautiful, really beautiful, I liked the line... Sharp-edged swords, and sable ships... most of all, I think, very nice alliteration.

Sorry about the bad news, dear! *hugs*

Thank you for the hugs and the comments!! Both are so very much appreciated. Glad you liked the poem--and I was greatly relieved to have finally come up with something. :)
