me

a pronoun, quite literally
having shed or exchanged most adjectives
has left me nondescript, an aside
simply, one of them

even with adverbs, somewhat diminished
there still remains, me  

here, when I am
but otherwise, there

doing those pronoun-like things
such as this, or that
while, all the while, standing in
for the noun proper

the one more readily identified
the one with a biography
a history, a purpose
and he, abruptly, abandoned his seat

leaving only me here
a pronoun
fittingly, lower case

  yes... sometimes the standin is needed....
and some times, it is just easier


Ed... with a proper amount of respect given in saying or writing..

not he...

*chuckle*

if I hear one my voice in my head, I shall have to begin describing myself as a collective Proper noun, with impropriety.



And laughing some more, somehow I am convinced you'll understand that.

lower case?? I will have to rebut that comment, sir.
*waggling finger*

(although I could probably benefit from being tossed in with a couple of verbs, m'self)

This is quite clever, Wranx, I like the voice in it, too. Kind of sweetly upbeat.

Profound.  A lot of depth...complex.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and was pleasantly entertained and impressed again as always with your sheer ability to put such poignant messages into such obscure inspirations.  You are a gift to us all.  I relish in reading your posts.  They seem to come out of left field and go straight for the throat.  Well done!

LOL... there's a reason for the lack of capitalization in my board name. *S*

I like this very much, wx. *G*
