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.

My lady, you are a poet if or not you know it.

I feel I'm not usually one for poetry because there are few poems that I've read that have delighted me but then there are the writers like you who have just the right words.

Essential Sparrow, this. Perfect!

So happy you enjoyed it, and thought it Essential Sparrow--a lovely compliment! Thank you!
