Sorry to hear about that freak, Gl! I sometimes get annoyed with so-called "writers" who want me to hear their stuff and I really have had enough!

I get along with some writers, the ones that are more humble yet confident about their work and yet are very talented that I respect them. When I hear or read good work I am curious about the writer and know I can be inspired or learn from them. If I hear/read garbage or someone that is blabbing about stuff that doesn't matter I lose respect, get annoyed, and really don't want to be associated with them. Writing can be a snobby field, but I think it's because there are so many "fakers" out there, and you gotta weed out the "real" people.

Indigo shadows veil desperation
Obscuring desire

In a lucid azure dream
I found you

Oh if I were the velvet rose
Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
And make his casement fine.

And if I were the little bird
That twitters on the tree,
All day I'd si
