Sebi's new Highwayman verses


The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty tees,

His pockets filled with gold and fees.

And the highwayman came galloping, galloping, and galloping

The highwayman came galloping, up to the old inn door…

 

His gun loaded,

He was ready,

Prepared to make a scandal,

His horse steady,

Prepared to confess with the landlord’s daughter:

Bess

 

But unaware,

He was caught in Tim the Osler’s stare,

His stare was villainous,

His feelings were jealous,

Because he too loved the landlord’s daughter,

So he headed to the landlord’s quarter,

He called over King George’s men,

And they thoroughly inspected the massive den,

This was the Highwayman thought was his final moments of life to spend,

And he thought this was his end…

 

And he thought it was covered with scarlet uniforms,

Under all the cloudy storms,

The Highwayman’s gun went banging, banging, banging

The Highwayman’s gun went banging and spilling blood all over the floor,

They were dead for sure,

No, just one more,

Tim the Osler opened the door,

He was armed,

And uncharmed after what he had seen,

They agreed a showdown,

And the Highwayman lucky with one more round,

1, 2, 3, Crash!

The Highwayman lost,

However, in the window Bess somehow paid the cost,

Crash!

…Her rifle sounded,

Tim fell to the ground, and released a horrible sound,

And Bess later found,

That her beloved was alright,

And their marriage was a wonderful sight

 

The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,

His pocket filled with gold and fees…..

  1. It is goog sebi because it has a fancy font and it is really like the actual poem of the highwayman. You could improve it by makeing up more of the poem.

  3. I loved your poem because of the wonderful rhymes,for example 'The gusty trees and gold and fees'.

    I like your changes to the poem like Bess kills Tim the ostler and that Bess doesn't get killed.

    I don't like that some of the rhymes are a bit weird like, all over the floor and they were dead for sure.
