Yes, put me in mind of true meaning of Grimm and Halloween too probably which is to let the young know the perils of wrong choices, and how the boogyman lives in each of us and that boogyman needs our being heedful that it happens to the other guy too. This is a hard read but I explicated it entirely. It's beautiful too in its real life terror. Well done you, I say.<br />Happy Halloween AdamBeachannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638256396472533685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998981984340553400.post-25409540744433498282010-10-30T09:44:32.335+01:002010-10-30T09:44:32.335+01:00i'm not used to seeing such long poems from yo...i'm not used to seeing such long poems from you.<br />You do them well, that's for sureArts Web Showhttp://artswebshow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998981984340553400.post-59744016609193013002010-10-29T19:56:59.911+01:002010-10-29T19:56:59.911+01:00OMG Adam - i'm breathless after reading this.....OMG Adam - i'm breathless after reading this...this was quite a trip with lots of great imagery...<br />my absolutely top loved words were: Neurochemical mystery - how cool is that..! think i have to use this words very unexpected, for example i will smile at my husband and say sth like..now this kiss feels like a neurochemical mystery on my lips..smiles..great job!<br />happy halloween!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998981984340553400.post-87775151338135940302010-10-29T18:38:49.285+01:002010-10-29T18:38:49.285+01:00scary...bring on Halloween;)scary...bring on Halloween;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998981984340553400.post-25978514855476932392010-10-29T18:10:57.863+01:002010-10-29T18:10:57.863+01:00scary stuff - I don't think I can go out of th...scary stuff - I don't think I can go out of the house this weekend after reading that!
