 Guardian Dryad A fragrant whisper rustles, Hushed and tawny From the movement Of her flowered hair As she turns her head To peer within you With eyes bright, and searching- A gaze, which casts aside The darkened gloom And throws deception To the winds Of unveiling Truth, Uncovering, Undaunted, They dare you To play the fool. Her magic is in the light Of those penetrating eyes. The angelic oval Of her enchanting face Draws you to them Irresistibly. The soft pout Of inviting lips Is forgotten In that distracting stare. The girl you thought you saw Evolves before your eyes Into the woman You cannot bear to see If you came to her forest With no respect For the trees. For within her brown boles Beats a scarlet heart Peering out at you Through the windows Of her soul. Its crimson blood is drawn From deep beneath The wizened earth, Empowering her beyond Your mortal Ruse. This Poem Was Based On This Image Supplied By Julia G.

Wow, Garapan, I do love your Guardian Dryad! Very inspiring. I wish she was around to save my beloved tree when they came with no respect! Enjoyed this much!! Love, Margherita  |

Yo XGarapanX, I'm afraid we don't have many trees here, so we're not exactly infested with Dryads. That's possibly a good thing. Lovely poem and picture though. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (07-16-2008 10:28 PM).] |

The girl you thought you saw Evolves before your eyes Into the woman You cannot bear to see If you came to her forest With no respect For the trees. Great verses and very clever... thanks yann |

Blues Serenade, that is the second nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. The first was when the judge said, "dismissed." ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |
