The Gallants

Tall trees
on each side of
the deep wood's shadowed path
guide me out. . . my gallant
escorts.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 7/5/2010 8:18:00 AM A unique approach, Andrea, and I think this will score highly! Best wishes for the contest. Great use of imagery and I like thinking of the trees as "gallant escorts." I took an unusual perspective as well. Not sure what Brian is seeking. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
