I hope some animal never bores its way into my head and lays eggs there, because one day you might think you're having a good idea, but it's just eggs hatching.

Purr's Self-Promoting Top Ten. >:) Because I've been DP mailed with requests about 'which of your poems should I read?', and damned if I know. So here are the ten poems that, according to my Stats-O-Meter, other people seem to like the best. Their opinion may well count more than mine for this one, heheh. So, in [recently updated, fifth time now] order...
1. *deeper than ... wordless*
2. Green Fire
3. The Ballad of Flattery's Doom
4. Lupercal (A rise of two)
5. Damn Reality (Unexpected surge to fifth!)
6. Desire (Drops by two)
7. Pen and Drink (Up by one)
8. guilt and inner sins (Also up by one)
9. Bent (Drops by three, despite two new bookmarks. WTF?)
10. Love's Vespine Allegory
Let's dance. :)
