Sacred Circle - Nature Picture prompt contest

Please use the above picture as your prompt

A larger version can be found here:

http://www.artandnature.com/doolittle/sacredcircle.html

The painting is by renowned artist Bev Doolittle and titled Sacred Circle.

Any style, length, form.

I will comment on each poem submitted, however, it is likely that I won't comment until the contest is closed for judging. This ensures that I will read your piece at least twice. Don't be discouraged if you see I have viewed your work and not commented on it yet.

I look forward to some wonderful reading. Good luck to all entrants!

Rory

Final notes:
Thank all of you for such wonderful reading material. I loved each and every one. As always, it was a tough choice, but I went with my heart and simply chose the ones that struck me the most at the time of reading. If I were to reread these another time, I may choose differently, they were all great and I enjoyed this contest. I loved this picture and it was fun seeing everyone's take on it. Thanks again,

Rory

Rory, long time no see [read]I do apologize. This is a beautiful picture and I might just see if it will help that too long uncooperative Muse of mine. If not, may this be an enjoyable as well as succesful contest for you,
