diminished tapped scales bordering a jagged edge of auraline on the hemline of madness just above the knee double stitched knee highs are that so catholic and purist angst a charcoal sceptor swings on past Holy Holy Holy [helpless] me... Ave Ave Ave me Maria in stained glass. |

wow. speechless. I love this poem! Your succinct treatment was truly outstanding. You delivered more power and poetry in those few lines than most can fit in 15 stanzas. I liked the title too. Heathenism juxtaposed with Catholicism. Just like the poem. Very clever, very good, I'm jealous lol. |

Brava!!! "...on the hemline of madness..." My Lady, I bow. "My hand yearns to feel the flowing balance of the axe, to spin within the circle luminescent in the dance of death;" From "Always Odin's Child" /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=82&topic=000753 |

ok...apparently I do not have the life experience requisite for a full understanding of this...always love your layered meanings, btw, and it took me some time to get past the title alone (my bad), but I have...now, I must confess...I have no idea what auraline is...help, please? hate to ask, but I am dying to see what you've said here in its deepest levels...I am beginning to feel like that kid with a new toy that I've just unwrapped for my birthday, only to find out it takes batteries (and they were not included) and all the stores are closed, so I can't even play with it...maybe I'll just go re-read it and see if I experience an epiphany...  ...theoria sancta (sorry for the mixed metaphor) |

Well now. I oughtta be ashamed of myself. I just made up auraline. It's a drawn on halo.  <--like that.When I wrote this, I had written "aura line" and then I took out the space, because... it just looks and sounds like a pretty word all together.  Heh heh?I just make up words sometimes, folks. Not intented to drive ya'll crazy. I'm naughty though. Somebody should spank me. *laughing* |
