SPRING IN EUREKA SPRINGS

 

 

 

A  nyone from anywhere who’s

P articipated in a Writers’

R etreat even once will

I mmediately remember the

L uxurious landscapes,

 

I mmense gingerbread houses,

N arrow streets holding shops

 

T hat tempt us into buying,

H ealthy (or not) eateries––all

E nlivening the main reason for

 

O ur being in the O-

Z-A-R-K-S in the first place:

A chance to improve our art,

R aise our level of skill, and

K nuckle down to revise,

S o that next year, we’ll be better.
