Serpent Garden Waters
A Plagiaristic Poem From The Alnwick Garden
Introduction
There are eight water features in The Serpent Garden in the Alnwick Garden, but there is nothing on their site that documents them. Also, each one has a mirrored description plate which is almost impossible to photograph. They are all described in the blog post below, but I thought I would try and describe them in two quatrains for an effective short tour.
This is my Instagram post of my views of the water features.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
