good cadence and rhyme scheme
tells a good piratey story
interesting and certainly in character
I cannot think why but I do not quite understand the 'to'
at the end of the second last line I am not sure why it is there but I love the poem
have a smiley day

LOL!! You had the captain do his maths right, lol, he gets two for their one! Classic! I think your poem is great, Katherine, it flows smoothly, loads of rhythm, and is exactly what the pirates do. Well done, my friend, and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xxxx

thanks! I really appreciate it. just had a reviewer say the words were too "composed" too predictable. I should "keep trying."
So thanks very much, again! reprieve! :)

The captain has a way of making things even in his favor. And I bet no one will dispute him openly either. Nice end rhyming and use of enjambment to keep the story flowing.
I see this is for a contest. Best of luck.

Hello Pome Lover, Oh girl your pirate poem has suspense, humor, intelligent, cheeky, and a great main character, i.e. your pirate! I love that last couple of lines where he's giving the "boys" the rules of plunder. Good luck in your contest however, this one is cool! xoxo Kiwi

Gee, the pirate talks a lot like those in our government, They want to take two from for every one we get. Blessings and good luck in the contest. Patricia

I could picture a pirate standing on top of a pile of gold, looking at all the other pirates and telling him how the loot will be divided up evenly, all the while planning on doubling it for himself.

Pirate Contest Entry...
Subject Pirates!
Johnny Depp does it best as awkward he may be...
But,when it comes to "Sword Play" he's as feisty as can be!
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is an attraction to share...
But "Black Beard and Blue Beard" would never have a care!
I gave this a five for your contest but it is weak in rhythm and rhyme.
