This is a variation on an old folk legend.

Very nice! I was waiting for the sad ending -- thank you for the happy one! Only one comment -- I did not think a forest had "eaves" -- I thought only a house had "eaves"... I could be wrong though! Good luck with this!

[mullvaney]

Thank you! 'eaves of the forest' is a poetic, archaic phrase- though a google search did turn it up in a few quotes :D

Good luck to you, too!

I like how you keep the folktale feeling in this, the refrain of words and the repetition. Good luck this week!

[mullvaney]

Thank you! I love the whole mythology of the highwayman; they really were folk heroes in their day.

mmm ... lilac wine ... that sounds delicious! Good job this week. Good luck in the polls. :)

[mullvaney]

Thanks! Good luck to you, too.

You can really make lilac wine, I found a recipie online, but it requires something like 8 quarts of lilac blossoms, picked off their little stems. I think that's all the flowers from at least one big bush ...

this is nice

I really like this, watch the older english. I believe it's 'Tis and not T'is and you also have ideed, I think you meant indeed.

Other than that, great job!

Thanks for the spot!

Oh, what fun, I really enjoyed this. I also loved the happy ending. The cadence certainly is reflective of a folk tale. Well done!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
