Indeed they do and sit around tables all over Terran Space. In their starship mess halls, space station taverns, and small colony village pubs. They raise their glasses and sing. Some cite names of friends and family who died then. For Earth they stood tall, and fought to liberate those who were taken. For the ideals of the Terran Minarchy they died, so that others might live free.
Wow! That's some tale! And a little something for Terran Tuesday:
Soil reaches up and takes firm hold
My soul grows faint, my heart's not bold
To space I fly for my safety
And grasp the stars that e'er there be
I twinkle there as years roll by
I am but star in dark night sky
I love your poems!
Thank you! I have a few longer poems like this shanty and I could restack them for you.
That is an awesome Space Shanty. I can just see the young warriors setting a round a table Singing this in Memory of the fallen.

Thank you Knight!
I hope your day is great!
That was a fun space shanty! 😎
Thank you!
I totally sang this as I read it. Slips so well off the tongue and has a very natural cadence that is perfect for a shanty!
Thank you! I hope your day is great :D
Very good. A good rousing story.
How have you been? I am new at this but will work hard and hope to write more, and better shanties.
This is fantastic, well done!
I am happy you liked it :) Next week, I will work on another shanty and hope to have it ready either for Terran-Tuesday or Warrior-Wednesday.
