Really intriguing m here... so many references - Galahad, Guinevere, Trinidad's techno daughter, Moby Dick, Coney, Fabulosa, Eliot.... beautifully-written, but amongst all of this I am swimming... intrigued. 'Eliotian eyes' is superb. The 'Trinidad's techno-daughter' felt very left-field, though I'm sure you have your reasons for it. I shall keep pondering...<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Luke @ WordSaladAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487059350883726456.post-51704281995858088782011-01-03T15:48:29.051-07:002011-01-03T15:48:29.051-07:00this was another amazing write for this wonderful ...this was another amazing write for this wonderful picture prompt...loved the brazillian but pulling in Arthurian references really hits the spot for me..peteMarshyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029232967141290634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487059350883726456.post-7268314504821967832011-01-03T15:36:27.638-07:002011-01-03T15:36:27.638-07:00Classic, sublime piece.
