Grateful

Sharp, rocky, dangerous promontories, dark crashing violence maleficent down below. Weathering belligerent waves, sailors agonize increasingly, eyes straining, constantly calculating. Light streaming, searchingly intelligent- the lighthouse, beautiful revelation- comes into exhausted perspective. September 19, 2014 Faye Lanham Gibson

Congratulations on your win. Yours had a less un-natural feel than those that ranked higher. Those 4-syllable end-liners were annoying, weren't they.

Beautiful job Faye, I was going to negotiate this format, but then decided it was to rocky a flow for me. But I like what you did here, I doubt it could be done better.
