 Ivory Taint 2007-03-12 . chapter 1This was unbelievably sweet of you. And I couldn't believe you this morning! "I would have posted it at home but I didn't have time." You didn't even have to give me a present; much less give it by a certain time! Silly Willy! :p Sometimes you inspire me to be a better person.
Somehow, you knew (in no order):
1. I love free verse.
2. I think death is one of the most interesting topics because no one knows what comes after it.
3. I love imagery.
4. I love poems that tell stories.
5. I love things that make you think.
6. I love reading works that rock. (Yes, this was something I squeezed in to make it an even-numbered list.) :p
Okay, I love this poem so much; I'm giving out awards for it! I will call them the FOO awards! (Ooh I like that! I'm a genius! :p )
