I loves a swaying main brace
when the wind is blowin' fair.
I loves the way the salty spray
makes ringlets in me hair!
Me pegleg and me parrot is
a Pirate's trademark chattels;
with fleshpot sport in every port,
I loves a Pirate's battles!
Maraudin' is me pasttime and
the Seven Seas, me life;
from brawlin' through to keel haulin'
...no time to take a wife!

What an adorable poem, very full of imagery with just the right touch of poetic license in the accent to add flavor but not make it difficult to decipher. The flow on this is very well done, although I would suggest removing 'is' in L10. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavours!
