Treasure

  Pots of gold mark the places where trees, undaunted by their world’s enmity, choose to bury the hatchet. Stripped of their wares, pirated and split into planks which dead men walk, they lay their treasures at our feet, bowing to our superiority.  

pot of gold

 

Pots of gold mark the places

where trees, undaunted

by their world’s enmity,

choose to bury the hatchet.

Stripped of their wares,

pirated and split into

planks which dead men walk,

they lay their treasures

at our feet, bowing

to our superiority.

      😀 I came home from a great early childhood conference I attended on the weekend, and was inspired in a number of new ways. I wrote my first children’s story, too! Here’s to inspiration!

    Wow, this is chockablock full of nuggets–I love “pots of gold”, and the whole pirates and dead men walking planks–wow, guess I just love the whole thing!

      🙂 I can see you all fired up and hoisting your petard on some fool pirate who double-crossed you. Aye, aye, Cap’n Caddo!

      1. Caddo

        Oh you know me too well, Mel–some days I dare say I could take on a pirate or 2, the morons!!

      2. melodylowes

        I’d pay good money to see it!! hehe

      3. Caddo

        I’d invite you for free, but bring a protective garment–could get messy.

      4. melodylowes

        BAHAHA *choke, splutter*

      5. Caddo

        Exactly the response I predicted–it’s good to laugh!
