the ass-end of space

A drifting Ronin,
was I, stripped of aim
and purpose
Laying in self imposed
exhile
And shame consumed me
Until at last,
I pierced the bowels
of idleness with
inked quill
A blade which bled
my words upon these
pages
Is honour
restored?

Hehe. 'Twas never lost, just temporarily disemboweled. Minor surgery fixed that problem. Now get back on your horse, knight.

no knight meets shame in resting from the lists. Back to the fight.

I too, often wonder if I can "write" my wrongs right...

This IS a thoughtful take on it.

Seems to me like there's an
Eastern theme going on
in PiP. E.g. Japan,
Korea, China, India,
Afghanistan, Iran,
Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia...
Thanks

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency.
