Glist'ning GrassAlong a velvet ribbon'd road green grasses, downed by soldiers' load passed o'erhead in moonlit night a'shining for the everbright A call to arms brings certain death for men and grasses, drawing breath and on green velvet, march they now in moonshine, through the meadow, plow In stoic storm the men beset upon the path to battle, wet, and drops of sweat bejewell the grass as men, to war, stride everfast And casements where their women shed soft tears of love and drops of dread below each window, glist'ning grass beset with gems of sorrow's mass  Claire |

Simply breathtaking!!! What vividity in such a brilliant coupling of words... Claire, I am so glad that I read this one...lovely rhyme, enchanting imagery...what can I say, I am searching for words... regards, sudhir.

As Sudhir said, breathtaking is the way to describe this. I add the word "vivid" to it too. Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |
