Torment is not the only word, have pity on those mortal souls entangled in such sorrows' grip the three of swords says it is so. Heed well, the message is quite clear, retain what help you may enlist events may need a watchful eye each comes to know this source of pain. One may deny its' every word, fools often doubt the simple truths. Sadness follows this card up whose depth is that of a great sea. One may resolve to think as I regard this as a warning sign. |

A warning sign? Oh indeed it is--worse than "slippery when wet" and just shy of "Beware of falling rocks"!  Loved this, love you! and thank you  |

Doc~ Very well done ... on my first THREE read thoughs, I thought I had seen an acrostic developing .. then it looked like the bottom fell out of it~ *sigh* NOW, after reading JAP's reply ... I scurried back ... to my amazement, I connected the dots ... and found the sly talent of you TWICE !!!! 'may need a watchful eye' INDEED !!!  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Just another Pete, Thanks. Acrostics are one of my favorite forms/torments ( doubles only add to the pain/pleasure ). Being constrained to make every word fit within the first and last letter while maintaining meter and some sort of rhyme can be devilishly trying, but, then again, I've got access to good meds. Doc |

Dear Marge, Thank you, and you, a fellow acrostic afficionado! They are pesky little beggers aren't they? Doc |

serenity, Thanks again, I don't know about clever , doll, but I was all caught up in it once I laid out the message, how easily this fell together. Some of these take days to complete, this only a few hours. I'll take that as a sign. Doc |

iliana, Thanks dear. By definition they are meant to be somewhat cryptic and obscure, otherwise, where's the fun? Doc |
