Lush, darling, is the word that immediately comes to mind.
You are a gifted writer, dana and as a poem, this works. As prose...it does what my own prose does: become a bit self-indulgent (mine, actually, becomes VERY self-indulgent, so you are miles ahead of me with being just a "little bit") -
it conveys the mood, the surroundings, the feel...almost TOO acutely. I'd like to hear more of the journey and it's difficulties, it's branches.
Good piece of work, Dana. Must be a lovely day there! It's one here, too, which always, like rain, makes me want to writewritewrite about it!
