My contribution to 3WW
a horrendous job to
wade through the dark forest
dried leaves, brown sticks
strewn around everywhere
holding hands together
frequenting this wonderland
quite often, hoping for
a treasure to get exposed
someday rain played spoilsport
drenching the brown mud and rocks
making the grounds slippery
bringing alive the sucking leeches
undeterred by the lashing wind
unscathed by the oozing blood
determined to discover the trove
working diligently, we dug deep
an old wooden box
locked tight by its side
with intricate carvings
revealed itself with pride
fine to falter and flounder
the only objective to open,
there she lies, our sweet pie
the cute kitten, feeling shy
