What the Bridge Troll saw
molten
riversong,
heat shimmer phantoms
mica-spangled sand,
and
sun
kissed
ripples
to make
a shivering, dancing
net
of
light
An Alluvial Mine has been discovered within the grounds of Soul Food and it is opening for sturdy miners who know that to find creative gold you have to be prepared to dig deeply. These miners also know that there is gold to be found in the tailings and so they become expert gleaners who may find gold by taking a phrase and reworking it.

I confess that I have not been keeping up with all the Soul Food Bloggers and I have given up trying to comment on the Poetry and Cherita Fitz ones but I did want to keep an eye out on the Mine. The Bridge Troll's perspective is exquisite Lisa. Clearly that Troll sees things through special glasses
Hi Lisa,
I am quite tickled by this because of the title--the poem is lovely, but the title gives it such a twist.
Just curious--did you know about the troll to start with or was that a brilliant after thought?
