WIP, reframed as poetry

From Sabertooth Dawn

The mountains
were beautiful enough
to break my heart,
even if they weren't
on Earth.
Especially
because they weren't
on Earth.

Beautiful, as poetry and prose.

Thank you!

I've loved this story since I began writing it back in 1995 or so. Life intervened, it got set aside, but kept calling to me, like those mountains.

Sometimes, we have to set aside a story we love because it isn't working. Sometimes, we have to return to a story because we need to finish it.
