It Happened On a Misty Morning

Wettened by the morning's dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love and I had walked, alone

The world was shrouded in the mist,
and once again the lovers kissed,
but when the fog dispersed, the slaves
retreated to their dusty graves...

Dear Jack, your poem is spooky yet rich with imagery of a soulful love that will never die. A grand finale to the Misty Morning collaboration poem. Your poetic talent never fails you and is always beautiful, my friend. Congratulations for your excellent win in Charlie's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Jack, I always judge my contests blindly, but I had a hunch this was written by you. Another perfect ending to my collaboration poem in which I will be posting shortly. Congratulations on your win and thanks for entering my contest. All the best, Charlie
