  1. At first, I wondered if the first two lines were the whole post? Which lead me to wonder if the shorter the post, the more likes you get. So, I clicked to read the rest of the work. And was delighted to be proved wrong. It is possible to (kinda) rhyme a whole poem and not make a cheesecake-sweet conglomeration of drivel. (I tend to loathe rhyming and then am guilty of perpetuating it whenever I lapse into poetic fits.) I also thought this would be a good piece for anyone learning English for a lesson in variations of pronunciation. So, basically, you have diagnosed me with borderline A.D.D. with your work. Congratulations.

    And truly, it was very clever. Well done, you.

    • Hey there, kirizar. Long time no see. Like you, I typically tend toward non-rhyming verse. But been going through old journals lately and it seems the much younger me had different tastes. I’m happy you enjoyed this one. Appreciate you saying so.
