The world has enough youth. What we need is a fountain of smart.

Some all-time faves of mine. Little pockets of marvellousness.

Arise within devotion

Blood-Mines

Crown of Id

Poe, 1822

Before giving up on a difficult task, try to imagine it successfully completed by somebody who you passionately dislike.

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. :)
