Treasure Unfound. Poem by Fay Slimm

Deep inside the feel is
..........................mysterious.
His mind reels
.....as dark solid rock enfolds.

Ebb-tide shelving floor
.....of washed sand appears
And lures our adventurer
..............nearer, - - - so bold!

Peering into the gloom
.................he tiptoes forward.
Dripping room of rocks
...............could hide treasure!

Alcoved maybe, mermaid's
....................... secreted hoard.
Coins - - up from the deep.
..................casketed pleasure!

Prepared for discovery,
........................bent with greed,
His fingers entered, groped
And found...............Seaweed!
