Treasure

Dad and I dug for treasure in the backyard. My eyes lit up at the can opener, it glimmered silver in the earth- except for the rusty parts. He made another hole by the white tree and I polished off the rock, that was so smooth- except where it was rough. In the rubble at the bottom, I found a penny caked in dirt, so old, it must have been worth a fortune.

Tom, wonderful imagery. The treasure is found within this memory. , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT"
