Fifth Place

Dimming light
candles flicker
Dry ink
No parchment found
Wonder within thought
Imaged sounds
Tracing
Back in time
A rhyme
Verse appeared
A Contest
With Constance La France
My chance to win Yalto
First
But 5th place is fine

Bobby, it sounds like you and the 'creatures of the night' holed up in the attic somewhere, producing miraculous verse from gossamer cobwebs and spidery mirth! Wow! You are DA MAN!
