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
.

…And maybe some dice to go with all that fantasy, under the tree?
Just adding the touch of The Game Nerd.
Excellent, both the art and the words.
Rock on!

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

I need another good book to read despite having many in my pile. You did an excellent job of it!
