Re: I Am

Re: Nonsense Smile
I like this - there is not nearly enough (good) nonsensical writing on this site. That said, some opinionated advice: - If you're going to write a nonsense poem, it ...

Re: Leaves

Re: Heartstrings
Oddly enough, I wrote a poem with the same title a year or two back (since changed simply to Strings , heh). Though, yours is nicer. I love the "sinister ...

Re: The Insomniacs Dream
