Please note that poetry is best enjoyed spoken aloud.


Gather round and a tale will be recounted


Not proud are we for our actions amounted


To the namesake of our ship.


Tired but true, respect The Drowned Lady,


Deserving of having her full sad story


Told in its whole in this trip.


To was a blustery night, like so many others


We fought it with strength, sisters and brothers


Facing the windo s cruel whip.


We scurried and hastened, strugglino and mending


Hopeful, afloat by the skilled caulking and tending


Of our beloved ship.


The moono s slivered orb was kissing the sea


When we spoke and made the discovery


The steward manned not his strip.


Some lackey, smart lad, had a hunch and found


Captaino s wench and steward, sprawled on tho ground


And told us such in a quip.


The captaino s fury usurped tempest and weather,


He went for proof below-deck and saw them together,


Locked lip to lip.


The storm forgotten in this whorish betrayal,


We descended upon them with tooth and with nail,


To beat, to rend, to rip.


Stewardo s soul and body were parted in the vicious attack


And the lady of the captain cried, pleaded but alack


No mercy was found on the ship.


She was bound with cuffs, weighted and strong,


To tho anchor she was chained, and then led along


To the rhythmic flaying of a whip.


She did not walk the plank she was instead coldly thrown


Into cold waters by cold men on a cold wintero s dawn


The lady left life and ship.


I looked over the edge but was one of the few


Be assured that the sight of doomed eyes staring back at you


Guts you gullet to hip.


When the rage passed, regret came bitter and strong


The captain tore at his hair and bawled hard and long


And at his clothes he did rip.


It is so simple and sad, but the tale has been told


And though it is long past and the witnesses are old,


Because of proud men whose shoulders bore a chip,


The Drowned Lady is the name of this forsaken ship.

Okay. This poem is now, in my mind, a close second to the raven for telling a sad story in a poem. Hats off and diamonds to you!

This looks...Nice. But The skin is messy. And most of the backstory doesent make sense. But you still have a very good chance of winning.

Not sure I understand your comment - though I'd be more inclined to call the skin "badly shaded" than "messy," I can see the messy aspects of it as well. Don't think a skin to which either of those adjectives apply would have a very good chance at ranking highly.

Yeah. Not saying its bad or anything so dont take it personal. But its Just a teeny tiny bit Overdone. When things are overdone they look messy. But If I were you I would take someone calling your work overdone a compliment, because that obviously means they they know that you spent a lot of time on it and worked hard on it.

This is a rarity-- someone on the internet who has a command of language! By the way, it's incredible that you reside right down the block from me! :)

Thank you! I try to use the English language to the best of my ability. :)
And I know, what a coincidence! You looked so peaceful sleeping last night...

I'm sometimes paranoid when posting things online that I might come across as creepy, but I see you aren't concerned about that at all! Very refreshing! :D

After reading some of the creative, well-written stories in this contest, I'm gaining hope that the ability to write and form thoughts might not be entirely lost. I'll go read some youtube comments. That'll straighten me out.
