"The poem itself was
inspired by my having recently watched "Interview With A Vampire"."
I tried to read that, but after 100 pages, I gave up. It was too slow.
Your poetry, however, is quite good.
Dang it! I leave for a few hours and the thread flies past 40K!
That's why I watched it. I have the book "Lestat", but quit
reading it... like you said it was too slow. Well, you've just
become part of a short list of people who actually like my
sssstuff. I've been told to give up 'cause it'll never take me
anywhere... & so far it hasn't. That fact is quite depressing..
since those against my "work" have so far been proved right.
I've written since I was 16 & have met more who like my
"work" than not, but those who don't approve are usually
the ones who should be encouraging me (ie my school again).
