The Kraken's Sea:

In the deepest night our ship was sailing
Quietly through the moonlit sea.
Until we saw the monstrosity rising
'By the gods, it couldn't be!'

From the watery depths we heard it shriek;
Tendrils arcing toward the sky.
Like harpoons cast toward the heavens
The time for battle was nigh.

My crew prepared the starboard cannons
As I steered my ship through the rumbling tide.
The vicious whirpool which drew us in,
Was the abyss in which the beast would hide.

Soon it began to strike at us;
Tentacles lashing like deadly whips!
Several times we were nearly broken
As it clicked and smacked its horrid lips...

'Fire!' I screamed as the cannons roared
Each one delivering a ball of death.
I watched as its skin puckered and burst
My heart racing with every breath...

The creature thrashed and writhed about
As its painful fury scattered the sea!
But slowly we watched it slink away
And our hearts lit up with glee.

Our grins soon turned to garish laughs
As we whooped and yelled with pride.
For today we'd survived the horrid Kraken
And lived to see the morning tide....

Arrr maties, please feel free ta do one of the above (or all of the above if you like me enough). It's helping me in my career ^^. Here is a link to my facebook page as well: [link]

PERSONAL MESSAGE:

Arrr me hearties. T'day I be showin' ya a poem about me many adventures on the sea. In particular, about the time we faced the Kraken.

It was a nigh invincible creature, skin like armor with only a select few vulnerable spots close to it's head. It's tentacles were like pillars and it had forty or more in total.

It's lips were as man's lips, pink with gnashing teeth, but oh it was a horror I hope never ta see again...

Perhaps next time I will tell a tale of a Siren's seas ^^
