Eloquently written, to be deemed "one of your best" So you summon the growth which lays the pen down to rest. It spoke as it tumbled in description so vivid, With a press of a key, page left blank, stark & rigid. A grin does appear from one side to the other, As being present has gifted the knowledge of power. Power to know that it is all for said reason, For I am a poet whom can scribe in each season. -heddyalice
