I like the start of this one, Kid. hahaha Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

I quite agree with the above. Often stories in verse are really tedious, but this one has me gasping for more Uta Lotharingia "Wir wollen nicht Wert und Sinn ... wir wollen Unwert und Unsinn" Raoul Hausmann |
