    This made me both very sad and very proud. I don't know you, so to say I'm proud may seem a little invading, but none the less, I am proud ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: B*******

    The first stanza was definitely the best. You captured the emotion wonderfully, perhaps because it was so raw, and a more nerve twanging subject. I love this: Even her scent ...
