Premiere Contest WinnerInteresting

Icicles point down at me, like chilly, frozen fingers
Naked lady flowers without leaves make me linger
Tongues of giraffes, long and black, stretching up so high
Eclipses of the sun and moon that block light from the sky
Rare photographs of ancient tribes that lived so long ago
Elegant hats that women wore with wide brims hanging low
Sightings claimed of UFO's, mysterious and hidden
Two headed cows and freaks of nature with curious conditions
Inky splashes of an octopus responding to a threat
Newborn baby's silky skin and fresh, soft scent
Growing curiosity in historic tales and events.

If the word 'interesting' contained the letter 'L' I would have to mention L aura Leiser's poetry...Great idea for the contest and wonderfully written...You had me from the word 'I cicles' which by the way, is my favorite line...BIG congrats! - Tim
