Good Timber Poem LDS Gift, Thomas S Monson Mormon Quote, Douglas Malloch Print

Title 1 "The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me." ... by Ralph Waldo Emerson The written word bears roots abound Hail favored mist of hallowed ground Announced breathtaking full-filled air Spreads out enjoyment summons fair Forgiving trailed Earth's crowning Star Forest startup's reserves stretched far Healthy hoards and wholesome intakes Fresh novel minds elsewhere, retakes Obsessed consumed florists stationed Lives styled out stretched reawakened Seedlings advanced Heavens promised Groundbreaking achievements calmest Cob-web silk thread eight-legged shooters Tethered roots edged equaled footers Floods 'neath grounds raise the gigantic Psalmist summoned lessened frantic Misplacements sequenced adjustments Cause coursed through major monuments Misfortune causeway lengthens aches Stressed strung-out unmeasured outtakes Commons traversed rights owned presence Neighbors challenged core quintessence Claimed righteousness labors bear fruits Attributes are well-served ... grassroots.

Congratulations on your very first placement in this contest. What hit me most was the brilliant flow of your poem, couplets in perfect syllable count that lent itself to a great smooth flow. Very well done. Sahha, Victor

Thank you Victor, for your kind generosities from one who has met Edward's edge many a times over, and who has found Sara's entry--most interesting. Sahha indeed Victor, William
