"Thunder explodes

Across the Thracian Plain

An afternoon’s incarceration, rain..."

An atmospheric, brooding, evocative poem. I could visualise the imagery as the poem unfolded. A really nice blend of narrative and description...

I agree with Di - staggered that you keep two stories going at the same time and manage to keep the quality so high. "A whiff of an awful smell..."  at the end there in a tale full of intrigue and magic. Keep going, Penny :)

I hope not! Aren't they huge things? Deftly done and a lot of drama packed into that vignette, Rhiannon. Enjoyed. Paul

"..yet not we, but Trees

make you possible..."

"Surviving the drought and sun’s Balkan degrees

You’re a tough little cookie; the Rambo of trees..."

I can picture Sylvestor Stallone, head-band an' all. Your fig tree sounds like a real warrior. All nicely done, of course :)

"...chocolatey face

and chocolatey feet.."

 

Liquid mud in abundance at the moment with all the rain.

"Oh if only I could throw in the towel,

Life could be so much easier again,
