Although there has been a great lack of fervour in the writing for this week's 'Word of the Week' section, I assure you that some other parts of the site are more fervent.
For example, this poem was fervidly written and I feel that it shows. Tell me what you think.
Also, while I'm in a fervour, talking about the rest of my site, this game is pretty good and a fervid anticipation is swelling up for the next sequel, which will introduce many more elements.
As always, any contributions are greatly appreciated, whether they come in the form of corrections, suggestions, sentences featuring this week's word, or whatever. Just e-mail me.
