Testament (Imagery WS)

Comments

slightly long for a one liner.
Could you think of possibly editing slightly, to perhaps describe the rock more specifically and cut it down a bit?
Just my thoughts, a very haunting piece.

Please trim this down to a single line. The imagery is clear but at this point we're limiting ourselves to a single line. thanks..........stan

not sure how to trim further. Should I change the title instead?

I like this a lot. Try making the entire line present tense instead of future, you'll find you can cut down on words that way, and make the meaning even stronger.

I would leave the title as is. And yes this is trimmed enough.Liked the way the dust reflects mortality....stan

I think I'll keep it as it is.
