Votive Vendor's Sylvan Share

Ancient relic your stock declare
Blanched, burnished cloak but meager fare
Your precious pulp carefully lay bare
Crescent, lobed leaves bleed a fathom or share
Nutty residual, fleeting equity you'll readily spare

Sylvan fortress; natural haven
Artfully sculpted; gratuitously graven
Fertile proprietor whose bounty is raven
Perennial bulwark; temporal sanctuary to the craven
Vaulted repository tapped by every enterprising maven

Your wavy blades insect's armored chair
Your peeling canvas terminators doth pare
Your fawning tentacles avionic lair
Your brigand hull leased for wear

Wow, I like your style, Stephen. This is an awesome poem. It gives me all kinds of vibes about the worth of man and the worth of his possessions. Very cool rhyme as well. Excellent poem! Soup mail in a moment. Love, Carolyn
