Oh my goodness me, I am the worst updater in the course of history. (hangs head)

I would like to dedicate this update to Gigi the Dancer, the new reviewer! (cheers wildly) I went and read your story and it was pretty, but I've never seen the Phantom of the Opera, so I think most of its loveliness was lost on me. "Garden" is one of my favorites too!

Thanks also to . . .

Scoutcraft Piratess (at least, that's who I think you are now. Are you done switching your name and confusing your poor stupid followers?) : That's why I like books where it switches point of view - because, really, perspective is half of the story.

Metaphorical: Thanks. Your stories are really well-written, too.

Ado is done. It is out the window. Whoo-hoo.


Merzale: Castle

when I found the castle covered in vines
surrounded by flowers, grass and pines
I knew at once that it would be mine
when a bird chirped, it was a sign
when I saw flowers grow in a line
I knew magic made this place fine
the air was friendly, the breeze, benign
when I found the castle covered in vines

when I entered the caslte with a star on the door
I knew I would not be stranded anymore
and so, with joy, I across the place tore
I felt like a bird, I could really soar
I would never again be ragged or poor
somehow I felt complete there, for
the magic misted around as in folklore
when I entered the castle with a star on the door


Not really my favorite, but 'tis okay. Join the review revolution! (see my profile for details.)
