A Little Shepherdess
Blue faded. The same horizon, the same clouds changed by brushes from an impressionist painter. The lavender sky blushes and the crest of the cheery trees beams as the wind hums, enticing belated bumblebees. Twigs rattle waking a little shepherdess bellow. Amber eyes browse the dusky glen. She whistles, summoning her hound and ties her undulating hair with a butterfly. She engenders...

Premium Member Shepherdess In Summer

Premium Member Never Trust a Shepherdess
Never trust a shepherdess Although she may look pretty Beneath her lacy frilly dress A heart beats without pity. There’s furtive tales of Miss Bo Peep Told behind closed doors And just what happened to her sheep Upon those silent moors They never did return, you see Though many tried to find them They disappeared in mystery Complete with tails behind them. Dark doings lurk in hill...
