All in Green by Shaddybaby

Photo Details

Poster: ShaddyBaby

I was inspired by the poem by e.e.cummings.

all in green

All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.

Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the merry deer ran before.

Fleeter be they than dappled dreams
the swift red deer
the red rare deer.

Four red roebuck at a white water
the cruel bugle sang before.

Horn at hip went my love riding
riding the echo down
into the silver dawn.

Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the level meadows ran before.

Softer be they than slippered sleep
the lean lithe deer
the fleet flown deer.

Four fleet does at a gold valley
the famished arrow sang before.

Bow at belt went my love riding
riding the mountain down
into the silver dawn.

Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
the sheer peaks ran before.

Paler be they than daunting death
the sleek slim deer
the tall tense deer.

Four tall stags at the green mountain
the lucky hunter sang before.

All in green went my love riding
on a great horse of gold
into the silver dawn.

Four lean hounds crouched low and smiling
my heart fell dead before.

Your card is so rich and in color and texture. I love the cb background, and the dew drops textures. And this stamp set works so well for this! Great job!

Very nice card! I was thinking about ee cummings, too, but now I'm glad I didn't follow through! ;) He was one of my favorite poets in high school...and you're right, his writing is very *dark*! Tfs.
