A rasp, a move, I grasp the storied knight. He holds the pawn I sold to glimpse the light. I speak a curse, wreak havoc in the fight; and swagger through. This dagger's mine by right. But the rook decamped, forsook me and took flight. So now I'm left uncrowned...fade into night. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Nan, even when you lose you win. An amzing piece,you are too good, I think I will just decamp and go home  Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Nan darling heart this is what I was talking about your ability to write words that flow with wonder and then lay on the page with grace and such ease is awesome. I love this utterly utterly utterly, You are so talented and it is so plain to see that you excel at writing in whichever style or form you wish to do. I’m awed by your ability, luckily for me I manage to get by on a little smoke and mirrors, but I do recognise real talent when I see it. YOU definitely have it Krissy sends her love and says she’ll take your directions over mine any time, mind you she also says she’d take Keth’s or anyone else who happens to be about over mine. I also send love and warm hugs Take care darling heart I miss you muchly   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

loner-thank you so much! EA-I don't play well,it's probably because my concept of strategy is to try to run directly at the queen. I'm just a direct person, I guess.  Kethry-don't go! You have to help me put all the pieces back on the board. Then you can invite me to go home with you. Midnitesun-yes, I suppose you're right. 'dethroned'!Maureen, you always look beneath the surface to find deeper meanings. I'm glad you liked this one. Marsha, say hi to Krissy for me. I'm glad this one is up to your standard. Balladeer, you rock! Noah, thanks for reading. You're always so kind. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
