Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

Looking For Treasure

I conceive
How over the years many treasures have 
Been lost to the sea.
There's much to achieve
For I perceive
There's a way to set these treasures free.
I conceive
There'll be no room for any one not to
Believe
Once they see.
There's much to achieve
Oh! The stories people will weave
About the sea.
I conceive
We will retrieve
These treasures after tea.
There's much to achieve
Heave! My men heave!
Bring up the treasure chest that I can
Open with this here key.
I conceive
There's much to achieve.

I like it, and of course it is about buried treasure which makes it even more exciting to me as my gamers name is Pirate Grandma. Good job, Bette.
