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.
