Just keep some people reading, and thinking, while living!

 

There was a place

Where there was no grace

It was a little island

That had much sand

On which to stand

Walking, one would need a hand

Yes, the place was called go slow

One’s feet were always sinking below

Eyes watering when the wind blows

As sand would formed a cloud

Made it hard to find the road

It was poor, few plants could grow

No worrying about grass to mow

Who was living there?

A very good question

Just a few Buccaneers,

During the days of their era,

They used to stored things there,

The island was small and pretty bare,

The leader was called: Slade,

There were four others,

Namely: Stone Face,

Rob Take,

Long Blade,

and Merciful,

Merciful, being a man of mercy,

He alone saved during a storm

That swept over the island,

One ugly night of no peace,

Until the storm had ceased

But, was there such a place

Where there was no grace

Who wants to go to that place

Let us all wait and see

One of your best, Clarence, with a substantial and palpable message. I'm thinking that you have the groundwork, and characters, here for a short-story. Enjoyed. Peace to you...

I really like this fable/poem. You could have called the island, Barren. It is interesting that the only survivor was Merciful. The one thing you left out was the lack of drinking water. Except of course, the merciless hurricane driven rain.

Bravo and Encore! But must be continued. . . as is said, 'When equal each other rivals meet in a battlefield, the merciful will win by acting on the defensive.' Cheers, alex
