Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! Greetings once again, Lee! I'm no expert on poetry so don't know what style this is (although I've think I've read it before), but I thought this poem was great! What do they call these? Storeums? Something like that anyway, but I like reading stories in poetry form. Reminds me a little of Dr. Seuss in a way. The idea of these sailors becoming stranded on an island with cannibals was a cool concept, and I like the dark, albeit mild, undertones. That stanza about 'slaughter' was great! And tasty! They rhyming was great, and from what I could tell, so was the meter. The ending was a little ambiguous though. Will Captain Miller be able to save his crewman from these savage islanders? Or should I 'stay tuned' for chapter 2? Great job, my friend! Kee ponw ritin gon, Lee! Thanks for sharing this, and have a frighteningly fantastic weekend!
