Longwinded tangents waste time (therefore, I am)

If you do want to read anything along here I suppose a few recommendations could help. In terms of the whole poetry thing personal favourites are probably: Firewood, Laughter, Living Fairytale, Dream Sequence, Sunlight, Soulless Bedtime, Unrecognisable, Thread, Underwater Whiplash, Fascination, Fade Out and Your Torture.

In terms of short stories, I quite like all the ones on here, so thats:
Recovery in Haiku, The Window Shopper, Just Like Her, Distress Criteria and Veronica Layne.

Thanks for checking in. Need anything just say so.
