only to be left
alive enough

Oh you've portrayed this poet very well m'dear. Better than I could have.

and I am haunted
by my illicit exquisite dream
but I can't really wake up
so I just drift in between

Dawn,
You have far surpassed the challenge,
what a fine poet, the both of you.

Can we guess?

Thanks for playing, Dawnunder!

Nice surprise, this. Finding a distillation of Ron, so well done.

(and if it's NOT Ron...well, ummm...My glasses need cleaning, yeah, that's it!)

That's great, but I admit I would not have thought immediately of Raph, only after your "confession" I see him clearly.

You're both awesome.

Aha! I finally got one right! Mind you, I have no proof of that since I'm declaring who I thought it was after you had already announced who it was! lol

Excellent job, Muted One!

Not being familiar overly with Raph, I'd never have guessed - but it was a great write -

I would love to give it a go, tho.
