Rogue And Privateer

Topics: classic

The Squirrel, a corsair,     rides the wind black arm     of a pressing sea,     Tribal hostilities finished,     she slinks into port.     Traveling lightly across open ground,     a squirrel upends a brigand sapling.     Grappling the ragged ends of a thicket     with riggings shredded by heavy wind and storm,     the arboreal sloop ascends to the highest mast;     a bush re-taken, the Crow's, Nest reconnointered.
