deftly held between nimble fingers
it slowly circled the perfectly pert pinnacle
of an ample mound
as it sent out liquid vestiges of itself
to laminate the mound
and cascade into a valley
separating that mound from another
twin peaks
the assault
leisurely crossed into the valley
approaching the next peak
advancing upon it in a vortex formation
as it had the first mound
forward, forward, with modest respect
for the constant tremors
still being coaxed by skillful appendages
it ventured into a nether region
efficiently coating a small bush
and, then, encircling and attacking
a little man in a boat

This is what I love to read. This piece has a good flow, great imagery and metaphore. A little hidden humor in there also. This piece is simply fabulous. The word usage alone is astounding in my opinion. This was a very enjoyable read for me. Thanks for sharing this with us here at the site. I know I appreciate it, well done.
