Inspired by this weeks Magpie Tales and the photo below.
. . . those fierce gold words were collected like thoughts in silent bottomed boats that rode the endless seas searching for land that did not swallow you up with quicksand thoughts and leave you longing for all that sparkled but did not burn . . .
Dear Susannah: Imaginative poem on the thought-processes involved in the refinement of word assaying. Love the type and the type of words chosen; Masterful!
