I am Blackbeard

Blackbeard 

I am Blackbeard

I am aggressive and grouchy

I often wonder who is watching me bury my treasure

I hear their whispers

I see their manipulative eyes watching my every move

I want treasures of gold and silver

I am aggressive and grouchy

 

I pretend to be reliable and trustworthy

I feel tricky and ready to shoot you if needed when you lease expect it

I touch the cold smooth trigger of my pistol

But I worry that someone will hear your cry

I am aggressive and grouchy

 

I understand that eyes are on me

I say come and try me if you dare

I dream of swimming in treasures on the shore

I am aggressive and grouchy

  1. Aggressive and grouchy indeed. Valorie I love your poem – -it absolutely paints the picture of Black Beard..Lisa

  2. Val…that Blackbeard visual is ridiculously awesome! You are SOOOOOO creative. I am SOOOOO not. That’s one of my biggest weaknesses…I’m great at organization but crap at creativity (visual creativity, anyway…I can spin a yarn until the cows come home!). Guess I know who I’ll be calling for bulletin board inspiration!
