Because I would not stop for Vlad
He kindly stopped for me.
The carriage held but just ourselves
And my mortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My crucifix, my necklace too,
For his voracity.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So I'm hating my creative writing class. Apparently, the only creative writing worth learning anything from by doing is poetry.
First assignment - write 2 anti-love poems. Define anti-love any way you want. No minimum length or any parameters given, not discussed in class.
This is so very much NOT my class.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You should write about how much you anti-love this assignment.

The Anti-Poem Love
Iambic pentameter. Haiku and prose. Free verse and doggerel. Sonnets and odes.
Couplets and cinquain. I’ll sit and I’ll write it. Cacophony, quatrain. But I don’t have to like it.
