Our Avalon

A ten word challenge entry, this time prose rather than a poem.

The fog hung heavy on the low bluff,

The sweet  scent of lavender and apple filled the air,

Goldfish  swam in a man-made pond,

Watched by a placid stone iguana in the garden around the shore,

 

How the hoopla of life faded then,

Leaving the carcass of our stress-filled lives,

And oh, the delight of the liqueur of holiday,

Drinking deep the cool, moist dawn,

As we beheld our Avalon

This image reminds me of my mom's pond, full of goldfish and stone iguana. There used to be real Iguana hanging around there too. This is a lovely scene. I enjoyed the imagery and flow of the given words. Thank you for entering the 10 Words I Give contest!

[Eddie Davis]

thank you.

Great job! I tried to do it with the least amount of lines and you bested me by three. Good poem!

Thanks, the words given this time are tough and I couldn't think of a way to rhyme them.
