Expurgated (All Arrogance Removed)

Finals all done. ^_^

It's amazing how calming, how focused paper folding is. I got lost in it, crease, crease, open, flatten, crease. <3

Haiku are cheap in English. It takes about seven syllables to make a first line in English that's any good. Middle line ends up too short usually, also.

Poem ends up too short in English. I have always sort of...desired after them, in a mental sense?...Perfect picture in three lines.

Fuck drabbles. Haiku are the real deal.

I also admire Ray Bradbury. Never a word wasted! Strong, masterful tension.

Embarrassing: violet, orchid, mulberry, eggplant, lavender--all shades of my writing; can the astute tell me what they are in common?

My verse! The poetry is awake, and I'm patiently not scaring it so it will blossom to life and not snap off in my hand, scattering when I reach for it.

I've been dead. Now I'm awake!

Ascend heavenward, oh, song of prayer

If your prose is purple, it's the best sort of purple there is. Maybe this is a grass is always greener sort of situation. I always wish I could create the atmosphere your writing does, which is on some account because of its mild violet-ness.

At work I may be very very busy until Monday, but if at all possible, I hope to get off early (i.e. 5- or 6-ish) Friday, so look for me?

...It does have a certain...pervasive lilac hue. Lol XD I guess so! I just...how do you get it so clean?

Oh rippling emerald stalks of glistening...grass! My longing for the deepened patches eternal, though they prove elusively evasive. *gigglesnort.* ^_^

(In finalizing, I do a "Find" for every instance of the "ly" character combination and kill about two adverbs a page.)

And hey, sweet! I'll probably be around, except that I know at some point parents are going to drag me outside so we can start hanging Christmas lights.
