Poemof the Month:
"Sonnet !6"~ William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixèd mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his heighth be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom:
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Author's Progress
Tuesday, June 28th 2005

I finally-finally started on the third chapter of "What Dreams--" even though I really should be doing a whole buncha other stuff... this is waaaay more fun! Here's a little teaser for those of you who actually read this:

Turning back, the dark haired girl wiped off a fleck of dust from the windowsill. “I would’ve thought that you of all people would understand what it’s like to be all alone in the world…” she said softly.

“I-- That’s not the same thing,” Sano said weakly, his resolve faltering in the face of their shared memories.

“Yes,” she turned back, understanding and sympathy and deep abiding love in her soft cerulean gaze, “You were a little boy in need of protection, and he is a grown man… but look at him, Sano. He was obviously a Samurai during the war and now the world has no need of him… where else can he go?”
