Who shall say I am not
the happy genius of my household?
--William Carlos Williams

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and show you some of my own stuff. I'm not so sure I should do it, but what the hey, I have to get published somehow.

However, I should give you fair warning. These aren't very good, but they belong to me. Kudos and flames will be accepted with varying degrees of enthusiasm, but if I ever find out you've been distributing it, well. . .I won't be responsible for the consequences.

Here goes:

• Milord
• The Awakening-a poem so bad, I submitted it to the Sarcasm Brigade. Please feel free to rip it to shreds.
• Conversation By Candlelight
• The Fall of Gabrielle, which is a dumb title, but I liked the image. If you have have a better title, please tell me. I'll change it willingly.
• Wide Awake and Dreaming--from my I wanna be Jerry Garcia stage, mercifully brief. This was actually an exercise in my linguistics class, if you can believe that. (No, I didn't try any illegal substances to write it.) My professor liked it, but I'm not so sure. You're going to have to suffer through it anyway.
