Crimson’s Creative Challenge #269 #Buried in the sands of time

I was clearing away the brambles and nettles

and on the ground saw the glint of metal

then I realised that what I’d got

was an intact ancient Roman pot

they nearly always have a story

a history that is often gory

for some contain just powdered ash

others are often stuffed with cash

coins of copper, silver or gold

and all of them so very old
