For some reason, I continued thinking of "tail" when I read "tale." It's a ESL mistake.

Do you still have that older poem in this site?

Haha.. It will be easier if you just posted it in your account. Though if you prefer to Pm, I will be happy either way.

Congratulations on your second win!

I like the idea you gave this sequel, and I also appreciate the time difference between the original poem and the reply to that poem.

Again, the poem is filled with really good metaphors which tell a touching story, really beautiful write. The funeral town is such powerful words that really linger behind with your readers! The ending in this poem is very moving!

Another enjoyable read, glad you decided to share this.
