I love the rhyme scheme you used here...I wish I could write like that. My poetry always sounds like some kind of darn nursery rhyme! LOL ACK Tis why I've put down the pen, and became merely a reader! hehe You have alot of energy and emotion in your words, this rocks! You're a "creative" writer, that's it! |

Mike and Gen - thanks my friends... I know this is a bit different... it's part of what is going to be a lengthy purging. Thanks for putting up with me! |

LOL at your "lengthy purging"...Tis good, I am purging right beside you man! hehe I have alot of "dusting off" to do myself - whew, what a ride!  You purge well in your writing, I can't do that, and make it look so good. LOL |

Well worth the wait...ya tease...lol sorry just had to say it I have always thought of purging as getting rid of something you didn't want....If this is your "throw away" pile....wow!!! Amazing as always and as refreshing as an evening breeze. Whatever strength I add to myself becomes my greatest weakness, while whatever weakness I'll consciously endure will be replaced with a strength that is not my own. G. Finley |

Christopher~ Your surge of purge has a wonderful 'element'to it. The clarity is evident. I like it very much. The format is awesome, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hey, there you are! Yanno, purging is a good thing...and what you make out of it, is amazing. May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

How can anyone with such a sweet innocent smile need to purge darkness from your soul? Is that what you're doing? Anyway..no matter what you're doing..now matter why you're doing it...whatever you're doing...keep doing it! I love the way you write...  |

... and thus begins the cleansing ... I already told you that I liked this, though I believe it is a bit different now than when I first read it ... at any rate, I thought the repetition of lines was very effective, and the rhyme scheme was clever as well. Only thing that needled at me was the "draughts of ichor," but I'm sure you have some explanation for that which I am no doubt missing. That said, this was not too shabby. --Me Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |
