Come Young Pirates, Features As Fair As Island Air (39) Poem by Captain Cur
Come Young Pirates, Features As Fair As Island Air (39)
To Mount Teide the Guanches prayed
and quelled its fiery mouth
for they well knew its lava slew
all that fell in its path.
Little is known and their lineage sown
shadowed in mystery,
from tropic land to tepid sand
they ventured out to sea.
Of Mauritanians it was claimed,
spoke with tranquil grace,
perhaps the Guanches descended
from this beloved race.
Their smile charmed Tenerife Isle
with traits that set them apart;
honor, virtue and courage; but true
devotion ruled their heart.
Proud, with a noble demeanor,
skilled, athletically blessed,
features as fair as island air
beautified each giving breath.
Wonderfully crafted while freely so with double rhymes and finely honed alliteration. Much to learn from the depictions of inhabitants and surroundings, history through poetry come to life. The notes, welcome as usual, betoken the scope of the whole. Much to enjoy in these epic episodes!
Young Pirates, Canary Islands, and the Guanches truly deserve top stars. Thanks Captain Cur.
Captain Cur, you take us through an adventurous sea journey, through romantic legends and exotic islands. Looking forward to read about the courageous Princess. Marvellous
