Sunken sailor's heart in salty seas
Pirate's prayer dies with powerless pleas
White wrath of angered warriors wastes away
in the dawn light of a new day
Gold glaciers glitter in the pearly glow
of flowering forests, falling flow
Harlequin haven's tasteful hue
like the disappearing shadows of birds flew
Burley, brisk sigh of the blundering bear
who wanders wildly through worrisome woe
past drunken sailor’s sunken ships
with blood on his back from a tactless whip
Jubilant, jousting jest of useless jargon
cries cruel words to the crumbling crown
Early evening dew settles in the east
Whilst friendly fellows fast at a feast
Parading pariahs fled the streets
with flag fanfares and fighting fleets
Sadistic slumber sank the truthful
whilst liars took red rags to the raging bull
Indigo iris plunging into ice
Pandora's box, ready to pay the price?
Apple slice, arabesque dance
to morning dusks, give the day a chance
