Click hereI see her in
my mind as
easily as I saw
her at the
fair last fall.
Green and brown
dress, leather apron
bedecked with the
same purple-black as
her fingers.
She is standing
among the tables and
makeshift shelving that
fills most of the
space in the brightly
coloured pavilion serving
as her shop.
She has bottles
everywhere. Some are
empty, but most are filled to
some degree by
berries and gin
or by berry-tinged
gin waiting to be
strained pure.
And the tinkle of
dangling silver forks in
the late-autumn breeze
mixes with the soft
music of her voice
as she offers up
her wares.

Anonymousalmost 19 years agoI remember being impressed with this when I saw it in the contest. I love the unusual wording to match the unusual character.
"at the
fair last fall."
She is a great character!
"She has bottles

awesome image, unique...
I would recommend you change the title for uses other than the contest, and consider switching up on the "She" phrase that starts a few stanzas.
ex. Bottles are everywhere. instead of She has bottles everywhere, etc.
Excellent!
