Crimson’s Creative Challenge #73
beside a stream, within dream
beside a track, that fell from a back
in a dell, fed by a green well
in a cot, that no hands got
covered and buried, by a shrub darkly berried
guarded and railed, by seven false trials
there the swan-lord hid his treasure
yours to find if you have the leisure
The photo shows a hidden green dell squeezed between a leafy lane and the River Wensum, with a metal-box container (used as a shed or a stable?)

I wonder what was the mental box/ shed was used for!

I think it was used to store fishing gesr, maybe a canoe or such. Possibly used as a stable, although its dangerously close to a river.

A treasure box! Like the choice.

And along that river, where it fords with the lane, is a pub, called the Swan.

Now, I’m pretty sure the swan-lord won’t want us all traipsing after his treasure! Love that imagery and the rhyme works really well with it too. Has a fairy tale feel to it. Nice

Actually there is a keep out/private property notice along the perimeter!

The poem goes well with the photograph. Imaginative ‘…swan-lord hid his treasure…’.
