Character Sketch: A.P

A.P is a grand tree with green leaves angled to the sun

and branches spread wide to net the nesting birds.

A cool, calm, verdant, shade.

She is the dryad,

the sentinel-guardian of a sacred flock,

who soothes the weary traveler and sends the reckless to pernicious sleep.

She is a faithful keeper of her treasure-hoard.

She guards with spear and shield

and sings refreshment over her domain.

She is the imp that haunts the vale

with the luster of a sun-touched petal

and the grace of windswept grass.
