| The Mad Poet |
Author has written 126 stories for General, General, Fantasy, Life, Politics, and Love. I am an adult, but not strictly a grownup. I am a conservative, but not strictly the kind Rosie likes to wordbash between bad jokes. I am addicted to addictions, but not strictly because they're addicting. I am The Mad Poet, speaking. I am better known in certain circles for my art, but all of you should be aware of my little secret--writing is much more interesting. I sincerely hope you derive even a fraction of as much pleasure from reading this as I get from writing it. I live to serve. Dec 04 2009 | |||||||
