OR...maybe: 'During his time, Sir Francis Drake was known in England as an expert sailor, adventurer, privateer, navigator, and war hero. The Spanish, however, viewed him as an illegal trader of enslaved people and a ruthless pirate.' bri : )
'Paul Drake is a fictional private detective in the Perry Mason series of murder mystery novels by Erle Stanley Gardner' Ok, I'd better read the poem now. ;)
A wonderful tribute, well written with rhyme and meter, It flows off the tongue and has a beat. Well done
Very meaningful comments to me, soren because some of my poems are written as songs. But I'm not a musician, so I don't know if I'm on the right path. Thx!
To be the one and only Drake Knowing you've never been a fake To rise beyond the star so bright Keeping bang-up values in sight. Really marvellous
