Lonesome tattered toiled and troubled, The wingeth creature sift through the cuddled rubble. Tatter tatter, tatter to the harkening of its wings, My ears heed to the bellow of some kind of feasting king Revived from a drunken slumber by a wingeth forsaker, My eyes give recognition to the cemeteries resident caretaker. Running for a nebulous crypt in banquet awaiting its last prize The grounds color in crimson from a running mans hide! Running, tumbling, stumbling in a weakened way, The caretaker runs amongst the ruins in disarray. Lonesome tattered toiled and troubled he finds his keep, In a shallow grave awaiting to collect its bounties reap. (01/19/1809-10/7/1849) |

Jeff, I thought for a minute that I was really reading Poe. You can write any way you want to, can't you? Very good, Poet, Sir.  Hugs, my friend  Ethel |
