This time the verse has to incorporate the @Jessicalynnt chosen words hide, find, lost, look and seek. Here goes.
Hide And Seek
If I have treasure to hide
It won’t be marked with a big letter X
I’d make sure my treasure maps lied
While stashing my booty where no one suspects
So if Captain Hook tries his luck taking a look
For my gold from a map conveniently found in some old book
He’ll find the X marks a booby trap
Such as a landmine set to zap
Anyone daring to seek
That which is safe from such a sneak
Thief whose search will come at a terrible cost
While my fortune will not be lost
Because it’ll be kept in a Swiss bank account.
I’m not dumb enough to bury such a vast amount
Of money on some desert island. Do you understand?
Don’t waste time seeking my buried stash
Or you’ll end up dead while I get interest on all the cash.

How cute! Here's my awkward attempt:
@Jessicalynnt's Poem with chosen words of hide, find, lost, look and seek
Look at all the buds peeping out,
Finding their way into the light,
Lost they were hiding under the brown earth,
Now being sought by the sun and heat,
Sought and found, fresh and new.
Seek and rays have found them.

That was great. I couldn't have done this even if I worked on it every day for a month.
