Talk Like a Pirate Poem

 

Earlier this week when I sat down to decide what to post today, I got an email from Laura Purdie Salas that said “Ready for Talk Like a Pirate Day?

“Am I?” I wondered.

I thought for a few minutes, remembered this poem, and happily realized I am!

In a world with so many awful things going on, let’s, if we can, take a few moments to talk like a pirate, be silly, feel joy.

Matt Forrest Esenwine has the round-up today at his blog Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme.

    Absolutely delightful…makes me remember my love of the swingset and scoring a seat early enough in recess to enjoy it. I love the waves and the rise and the fall. A perfect poem for kids…and kids at heart. I showing this one to my middle schoolers!

    Liz, when I first read your blog, I thought of the book “Teach Like a Pirate” by an educator friend/author/publisher, Dave Burgess. Then, I read your poem and delighted in the sheer fun of talking like a pirate to bring joy. I just came back from a walk on the beach so I am ready to don my pirate gear and head for the photos I took to virtually “plunge through the spray” I saw. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.
