Lovely poem Virginia! You are a very good writer and it's great that you share your work with us.

Amarantha-cool poem, is that from a novel or a published book or Conrad Aiken's poetry? From your quotes you seem to read a lot of fantasy type stuff :cool:

Ellis-:lol: very cute! I already live like that so what am I going to do when I get old? :devil:

Oh, yeah, when I get old I will sit in a rocking chair on the front porch of my Gothic mansion wearing a sillly hat and drinking Scotch while smoking gitanes and firing a shot gun full of rock salt at the neighborhood kids and yelling at them to get off my *&$@# lawn! Oh yeah!:D
