Driftwood gleamed from his varnish Hand polished To perfection However her reputation held its tarnish He continued his perfectionist whittling Still chipping away At her flaws She began to find it belittling She was giving herself away Bit by bits In shavings and dust Finding his love a high price to pay Driftwood on the rocks once again Between them And hard places Keeping herself intact without losing him She went to the bar for a drink Of I told you so On the house From Iambe to help her think |

ebm, I`m either too thick to understand the series, or it`s an in-thing, but I have to say this one really touches me... there is a poem within a poem here, even w/o the fine storyline, one that speaks to many, I`m sure, on the pieces of ourselves we give away or let be chiseled in increments, losing our soul~ fantastic writing! . Best~ Amaryllis |

Ouch! This is so . . . er . . . right-on, Amaryllis. You have mastered the moments of allowing a spouse to make disappear the person they were into something that, even after she has allowed him to disrobe her, metaphorically, he will not like what he has made. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Amaryllis-You got it alright. Thanks for letting me know...No you are not too thick, this is my first series and I may not be writing well enough that each chapter can stand alone and make sense without the others for perspective. The Iambe character was an inside thing that I was given by Cpat to carry on... |

Thanks for enlightening me, ebm!  I meant no offense, merely stating my truth... in fact your writing impresses me much. I... know this one... too well. Very well said, well put into words. . All my best~ Amaryllis |

nicely done ma'am... your Driftwood gets written in an interesting style, and the blending of the characters adds a dimension to Iambe that she didn't have before. I can't wait to see where you take these two.... |
