Love Accosted
I thought I saw you in a tree Your hair was streaked with gray and leaves of red and lips and chin like a crag with the cleft I could sink my teeth into. But the eyes were wrong and looking the other way.
Paul, Thanks! And what a coincidence...you have a tree. Now I have to go look you up!
Travener, Ha! I think I just laughed out loud. You're so funny. I only wish. If I could amass all my favorite comments, this one would be close to the top of the heap.
Talli, Oh! Thank you very much.
Carol, Thank you. You always leave the most beautiful compliments.
Isn't this just the way of all things that start off so well. We climb them, from the base...determined to succeed, but the peak is often something other than we sought. I thought this was beautiful!

Oh, I love, love, love that last line.
I had to look up accosted, 'To approach and speak to boldly or aggressively.' Strong imagery, including chin like a crag.
There's T.S. Elliot, and then there's T.S.(A.) Yvonne...
Brilliant. Loved it!
So beautiful, Yvonne. What a way you have with written pictures.
