    Brilliant idea, and you all are wonderfully creative. I've enjoyed reading your poems tremendously.


    hope
    a faithless lover, ever
    leading me on

    Permit me a temporary dispensation from the 8-word rule, but this reminds me of a sign reputedly found above the toilet in a men's bathroom: "We aim to please. You aim too, please."
