Under Bryony's Spell

Under Bryony’s Spell We met by chance. She caught my eye as I strolled idly ’mong the trees. Her endearing smile lit her face. We clicked; we talked; I stayed till late. She was strong-willed and confident, reflecting pure Pokémon breed! Funny at times, her laugh tinkled like a wind-chime in summer breeze. I was under her spell, bewitched as avidly she entangled herself around me, coiled tendrils vigorously latching on to my unresisting emotions. Soon darkness fell. We spent the night within each others arms. Her greed matched mine. Bryony and I, two wild climbing vines entwined within the blooming realm of fantasy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Contest: In Words She Blooms Sponsor: Casarah Nance © 30th August 2016

The last sentence puts this into a lofty stratosphere. I love how you wrapped it all together with winding vines. You'll be spared me making fun of the Pokemon element as a result :) It's a resounding 7

Your insightful comments are much appreciated, Phillip. My Pokémon mention has the attribute of a red herring:) Regards // paul
