Sanctuary

Tiny quail
Hiding in corn patch
Motionless .......
Kindhearted farmer
Leaves stalks for cover

Aww Joyce, this is so beautiful! An awesome and most well deserved win! Congrats my sweet friend. Thank you for your thoughtful and kind congrats. Actually, this was an old poem and I thought it fit, so I got lucky. Going through a sad time with my poor dog dying, so don't think I will be around much. Be well and keep writing and thanks for being such a sweetheart! hugs, shar xoxo

So nice. I love reading these little things. Michael Myers is the freaky guy on those Halloween movies. He wears a white mask and comes after people with knives and such. LIke those silly Friday the 13 movies too. LUv, Andrea
