Shoot, Slash, and Steel: A Pirate's Poem By Isaac

I got this idea of a poem from my book about pirates. I like the book a lot so I decided to write a poem about it.

Blackbeard, Kidd, and others too!
They used to roam the seas as our ships do.
And when they are caught
They are soon found pleading in front
of the towns mob. Next to Deadman's line the whole
Crew, one and all, is there getting
ready to die.

I just like it. It matches with the story in the book about them getting caught and hanged.

Isaac, I like how you painted a vivid picture of the pirates lined up waiting to die with your words. I wonder what sort of thoughts were running through their heads. Do you think they thought their life of crime was worth it? Keep up the good work!!! Love, Mom
