This spellbinding work is one: This spellbinding work is one of the best poetic descriptions of this alluring archetype I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Your femme fatale, "the shape/ ripeness/ i suppose even color you want" lures the reader through some very electrifying, pulsating lines.   This would make a wonderful song. I'm hearing it!     A very enjoyable experience.

crypticbard commented on: just saying by redbrick 2 years 10 weeks ago
Yes, quite true! Values and: Yes, quite true! Values and practice is always changing and with the advent of digital communication it may transform the way we express ourselves even more. We have as a society valued authentic voices that probably gave rise to or birthed as a result of or both to reality programs and has seeped into every imaginable social interaction that we may think of dreaming up. But doing so limits creative writing to autobiography or autobiographical types of writing. But that's just me. Thanks for commenting on this 'thread of sorts.'

Just a bit of humour and: Just a bit of humour and partly for those keen on maths and riddles. But it also speaks of other things as the reader conjures from their personal trove and abreastness. Thanks kindly.

Re: Your comment: I'm afraid you may be closer to the truth than you realize. Can history repeat itself? I certainly hope not. Thank you for your perceptive comment.

Amazing that the denial of: Amazing that the denial of electoral defeats was a well practiced tactic of the Fascists, Nazis, and Bolsheviks in Europe as a preliminary step to their seizue of absolute power, government by decree, and the imposition of their narrowminded prejudices as national policy.  We are very, very near the edge of that.  God placed these examples in history so that we could learn to avoid them; however, the MAGA party wants to implement them in order to impose Saturday night square dances and Monday morning waterboarding chambers.
