Booth Wood

On stage, but in the pages of a book

Water pearls hidden in the

Hollow of the great oak

Situated within the centre of Booth Wood

Could find a treasure of

Rubies, diamonds and

Fresh water pearls

Day to day my story would not be told

So I start to walk eastward

After awhile, rested by a giant chestnut

It spoke to me, saying I'm full of the

Colours of the rainbow

It was dark. I awoke not knowing

The direction I came from.
