What? No Plank?

Edward Teach by Lisa Hatfield

I am cunning and merciless
I wonder how this voyage will end
I hear the unsuspecting approach of my next victim
I see my treasure waiting
I want nothing more than a pirate’s life
I am cunning and merciless

I pretend tranquility only to deceive
I feel superior to prey and predator
I touch the core of terror in others
I worry not
I cry out demands
I am cunning and merciless

I understand life is but a journey
I say what is required, not more
I dream of fortune and betrayal
I try what I fancy
I hope for adventure
I am cunning and merciless

Love your I-Poem! Very beautiful language and great choice of words! He was so cunning and merciless…but in the end he found not mercy either!
