It's a shame you haven't posted anything in 4 months. I've only read this, but I can already tell you're quite talented from reading this. I really enjoyed this piece; your descriptions of this man that "walked straight out of World War Two" were very interesting. And you had beautiful words.Good job, keep writing.

Excellent! I loved the dialogue, it put you right in the moment. A breath of fresh air from the cheesy-pity me poems I've been reading.

respectable Miss Perry,

I am glad you exist and I am glad you write. I think writing is your parasol.

and besidesyou're a damn good acrobat for the stuff you've got on your mind

I wish I was half as goodbecause I don't fall as oftenbut my tightrope is a mile wide

I admire you sometimes and you frustrate me sometimes, I never want you to say that you're ugly ever again unless you become ugly and I never want to hear you say you're a bad writer unless you become one.

I love how you write because it often seems so personal that I feel a little guilty reading it.

goodnight(don't ever let me on the internet this late at night)
