the places we go

 

 

 

 

The beautiful and talented Rick Mobbs has poste the above image prompt.

Here is my offering

 

the places we go

 

Tales of ladies and lords

Of Vikings sailing fjords

A dragon’s fiery breath

Or swordsmen dueling death

A cheetah and her cub

Or a nefarious grub

All are easily found

Whilst one lays around

Beneath a summer’s tree

With a good book to read

    Your mastery of tone and pace never fail to amaze. Elegance plain and simple (but it’s anything but plain and simple).
