Treasure Island, by Alex Blaine

What if I
were to tell you
the Complete Works
of Shakespeare
was a map to an
ancient treasure...
And the island
made of oak
in Nova Scotia
is where
the mystery lies...

Lovely idea. I regret the loss of my 'Complete Works of Shakespeare'.

While Shakespeare's works are a treasure in themselves, Captain Kidd might not take lightly one reading too deeply into the Shakespearean tales...
Nicely done Alex

Thank you all for your wonderful comments
They are all ways appreciated I find Shakespeare a rollercoaster of emotions and mystery

Rashna I hope you once again find that what is lost

Jim yes one could say the gold is in between the pages Captain Kidd may need a little more Then his compass to Play guiding through the maze of a credit card to this treasure

Sue best read it twice and maybe even a third time it possibly between the margins and count the words that repeat it as well as numbers that may state the page it is on It be a common phrase or something that is only stated once it it could be something different about the letters themselves how
If you find it I won’t haft of it

Candy if we did would it be worth seeking ?

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Poetry Submissions Page.
