[Tate Morgan]

man this was hard to do i imagine it is beyond my ability but beautiful non the less

[Norma M Sutton]

You know Tate I expected it to be difficult, but this one actually flowed fairly quickly once I decided on my word count per line. I think I varied once from the set number, but was able to adjust the next line so that it still worked.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

this is a fabulous effort given the above rules, a great memorable opening passage, "earth's perfume flated upward". All good luck to you and do let us know if you win.

Thank you lol I love guidelines like that. They make me stretch and work a little harder.
