Not good enough for the city boy

Muddy eyes;

a mossy sundress

and the scent of

henna on Lorena's palms,

drove him away, forevermore.

Gwen: That would be grass.
Owen: It's disgusting.

    Hehe, funny, cos Gwen has brown eyes, even if you didn't use Gwen in this

    Okay, on a more serious not, this does not suck! Makes sense, has description which sparks imagery, is good. You hear me? Goooood.

    Thanks for entering.
