The Chameleon He is, has been, always what he needs to be Possessed of an uncanny ability to blend into the background, to reflect his surroundings Donning sheep’s clothing for mingling amongst the meek. Displaying bluffed bravado for walking with the wicked. Slipping and sliding from this group to that clique, from one situation to another, able to summon the appropriate accessories and accouterment that allow him to pass passably. Equally at home in the company of addict and Abbe, barmaid and barrister the procurer and the professor. He is, has been, always comfortable enough in these affected personae to never fully explore who he may actually be. ~wranx |

Thank you intheshadows, Tierdin and arthur, happy to make your acquaintance. And how could I forget an Enchantress, pardon, Madam. I appreciate any and all feedback, as I am a fish out of water here in the company of poets. I've been at this a very short while and am not sure what these things that I write actually are, aside from obvious self-pitying lamentations. ~wranx "Writing is a perfectly natural thing to do....just remember to wash your hands afterward"....Heinlein. |

You know, I hope this isn't a passing phase for you - been reading your works, and I like what I see. Poets usually improve with time...it's interesting to watch our own transitions and growth.  K |

Thank you Severn, Who knows?...I don't know anyone that writes, barely finished high school (a looong time ago), thought that this stuff may be poetry. Family thinks that I'm quite mad (starting to write quite out of the blue). Like everything else, I'll do this until....
