QUOTE

Intestate

In freshly ploughed soil;
a silent seedling unfolds itself
like a butterfly.

You loved the long days,
free of shadows and time
to walk along yellow-headed ditches,
searching for the sun.

And always home by evening
to put the hens in, safe
from prowling foxes.

I see you still,
under the haze of a spring coloured sky,
hands immersed in soap,
twilight-framed
in the kitchen window.

Cracked now, patterned
in clinging green, stained
with the dirt and dust
of three long winters.

Three cows died,
the first year.

By the second, green-vined embraces
snuffed out softly,
the scent of roses.

Nature awakens
and reclaims.

Only ONE? I have a bunch here.

So which one stunned me most? Well, Jax' Peach one. But he's aready got a gong. A BIGGY. So has Liz. Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

Sooooooooo who else deserves an accolade?

I have three of Snow's on my list. All of them worthy.

But Nada Lott's 'Sharecropper's Prayer' is great.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm.

Liz, I love your Triolet.

I nominate Eisa's http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10179 for technical excellence, for her wonderful attitude and persistence. Hermes'.

But I wanna nominate MORE.
