Thanks, Heather! And like I said already in this comment thread, coming from you...

I love this! A LOT! Very unexpected ending, based on the tone of the rest of the poem. And you know I am all about the killer ending!

Very nice work!

Heather

Thanks for stopping by and reading! That the praise is coming from an esteemed fellow poet/blogger really means a lot.

This site has really only been here (in this form) for a few days now. It's a conglomeration of my more creatively-focused writing from a couple different sites, including the wordpress.com version of this site and my four-year-old blog with the name nobody seems to get.

I'm hoping to keep this one focused on my more whimsical and melancholy sides.

This is excellent.
Haven't read anything of yours in ages
which is a great shame.
But it think it's because you moved.
You stopped coming up in my automatic reader.

I shall come to read more often.
