the abyss

stroking darkness

stretching closer

to a murky bottom--

 

where treasure troves

await brave ones

in a fullness of awe.

 

Gold and silver filled

casket reminders

as remnants of plunder

 

when menacing Capt.

Kidd sailed captive seas

It's amazing how many undiscovered treasures lay at the bottom of the ocean, we can only imagine, or the treasures that pirates hid, but they died before the treasure was found. 

Loved your poem with its descriptive scene of the abyss with the stroking darkness stretching closer to a murky bottom, wonderful metaphors.

Jenny.

Thank you, Jenny. I am enjoying being challenged by my shorter poems, Some may say stepping "outside   the box." Well yesterday was my birthday -- 76 years young -- and our daughter sent us plane tickets for a trip to northern British Columbia, Houson is the town name, and we are leaving next week to have a three week visit. Keep writing your fine poems. ps. Have you ever read about the ongoing search for the treasure at Oak Island, Nova Scotia. There is a reality tv program on it -- new season begins very soon.

Many happy returns for your birthday Richard and I hope your trip to British Columbia Houson goes well.

I have heard of the on going search for treasure at Oak Island Nova Scotia, but never watched it, I'll have to look out for the new series. Thank you for the recommendation.

You take care and enjoy your holiday.

Jenny.
