He walked the fields
the whispering ears of corn
caused him to shiver
tendrils of the melon
entwined his ankles
in an attempt to pull him down
ripe melons turned into heads
gruesomely lopped off
and rolling on the plantation floor
The sights he saw
made him break out in a cold sweat
his feet rooted to the ground too heavy to move

A wordsmith with a vivid imagination, an eager mind and a burning desire to carve out tales. As I journey with my muse to that land of all possibilities and self discovery, I hope my personal evolution will serve as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who chooses to stop by.

This gave me the shivers…. It is actually one of my recovering nightmares – always about hidden creatures though and not the crops themselves!
