    Hello Larry,

    I am glad you have posted this. It seems an age ago now when those first arcs scorched the land. lol

    This is a story that spans generations and has a dark sinister cord running through it. And what we can all thank you for is a happy ending. The moral I learned from this is that: life has a dark and a light side and sometimes its best to allow the light that is there to shine.

    Thank you Larry for this valuable experience.

    Take care,

    Michael

      It appears we both learned, Michael. I loved that you could take my corny connections between characters and give them a logical reworking that also remained clear for the reader. Also, your insistence on tragedy at the outset & middle made the poem.

    Good job on your collaboration. Tells a wonderful story. Keeps the reader engrossed from beginning to end.
    Take care Cindy

    Well done, Gentlemen, this is a fantastic RHYMING poem, lol. I never thought I'd see the day from two of the best non-rhyming poets on this site!
    This truly is an epic piece, beautifully written and a seamless collaboration indeed. This has gone straight into my favourites and I will read it over and over again.
    I will nominate this on Monday.
    All the very best,
    Ben

      Thanks, Peter, but half of the praise needs to go to Michael.
