    Congrats, Lykren!

    Lokasenna, it was you! I visit the poetry threads very rarely, so had no guesses as to who had written what.

    Prendrelemick, your poem was so hilarious I almost voted for it, but was too charmed by Loka's evocative phrases like 'dim and thoughtful hall' and 'softly glowing Afric gold'!

    Exactly why I voted for it. Phrases like that could've come straight out of A Pot of Basil via The Eve of St Agnes!

    AuntShecky, are you published? Can you tell me where to access your published works or if you have books I can buy from Amazon? I might learn good writing and literature from you. It seems you are the literary genius here. Please direct me to your published books or works. Thank you.

    Now you're just making me blush! Thank you, both of you.
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
