He gazes at me from under his hood with rhumy, jaundiced eyes set deeply shadowed within a face covered in the crepe paper texture of bat wing Dark, rubbery lips that move as a leech does part to reveal irregularly spaced teeth that appear to have been collected from many heads This is the visage that leans in to me so close, that I am within the front of his cowl sniffing me from brow to chin as if looking for..... recognition?

And you? you always scratch deeply between the surface. Perhaps the chills of reality force the warmth of you out onto the blue. |

By that great photo of you, I'd bet that when you look into a mirror, you must surely smile at the handsome image reflected back at you! Very powerful and descriptive writing! ~ Sending you sunny smiles and happy holiday hugs! Linda |

Such a razor edge to your exemplary portrayal of the living dead. Your works are dark, but with all darkness, there is an energy just below the horizon that lifts into the light of day what needs the sun. Enjoyed very much. ThisDiamond |

Certainly does sound like a "friend for life", as every person you meet stays your friend, I'm sure. I love to read your poetry, Ed, that comes forth with only the uniqueness that only Wranx can give. thank you for being yourself..... Stay warm friend......  "Love makes the world go around" |
