Blackbeard Poem

I am cold and callous
I wonder who will dare to cross my path
I hear the innocent cries of my victims
I feel no remorse, just greed
I am cold and callous

I believe I am unstoppable
I have already received pardon
I continue to sail the sea aboard Queen Anne’s Revenge
My crew of 700 live in deathly fear of my vengeance

I feel the rumble of Captain Maynard’s ship
I fear nothing, no one
I put down my beloved rum
I touch the tip of my cutlass- sharpened, pistol- loaded
I am always ready for battle

I look like a demon, beard lit by fire
I put up a hard fight against Maynard
I was shot five times, throat torn with his sword’s edge
I faced death unafraid

I am Blackbeard
cold and callous

    OK Heather…so what do you think-did you remember the information better after you “transformed” the ideas for the I POEM?
