(they are usually at least two hundred words in length, and not for the faint hearted. the imagery taken from various world myths can get mighty grusome; think Stephen King on meth, lsd, and he hasn't had his fix for days. that's religion for you, though, something to scare the pants off of any rational soul!) http://www.eliteskills.com/z/153466 just another poem http://www.eliteskills.com/z/2451 wrote this for my father, James William Wine the third, who i was told abandoned me at birth due to his heroin addiction. http://www.eliteskills.com/z/2454 this is the second poem in the Portia series. it was written Sept. 16, 2003. the poem is from the point of view of Portia, a Roman woman who, to demonstrate that she was as capable as a man to keep confidentialities (like the assasination of Ceasar), stabbed herself in the thigh all the while smiling sweetly. http://www.eliteskills.com/z/153794 eh, it's not as good as i'd like it to be...
