Snake Tongue Trail! Quiet Silence growing louder Beckoning faces Pleading eyes Stillness prevails The world around hushed Older eyes contemplating This time? For Snake Tongue Trail Heroes? Bragging rights? An exploit unrivaled? Or disappointment? “Wait here.” Mom departs Wondering, is it true? To the ridge, peering Waiting From the bottom A wave A hundred miles below!

God Bless~ Joanne Sher  03/19/12 LOVE this line: Silence growing louder. So vivid, and a good fit to the topic. Edmond Ng  03/21/12 A very creative approach on topic and an interesting read. Strength for tomorrow is surely what we always need. Hiram Claudio 03/22/12 There were so many word pictures created in this piece that were so engaging -actually helping you to feel the trail. I enjoyed the message of strength and overcoming fear. A powerful piece of writing. Not sure if the center alignment was intentional - if it was, wasn't sure what the goal was. I personally would have preferred it to be left justified - just think it may have read easier - but that's just me. A powerful piece of writing. Thanks! CD Swanson  03/22/12 A hearty Congratulations! God Bless you~ Shann Hall-LochmannVanBennekom  03/22/12 Wow this is powerful and the visual effect stunning. Congratulations on your HC and on placing 14th overall! Noel Mitaxa  03/23/12 Very creative and engaging work. Congrats on your HC.
