    hey michelle
    so this is what you do when you have writers block and inspiration is haveing a kip! make charicitures off all yr feelings and have them come visiting in allegorical guises!

    Lonely, selfish, wistfully wishful and inspiration,(wheres trepidation sauntered off to?!!) its an ensamble piece and very cleverly written. Its like a mini story, full of clever dialogue and brimming with hidden meaning. lonliness and selfishness bugging you uninvited, `floated in on yr last tear` (beautiful line) they have arrived because you have been crying, turning up when yr defenceless to resist. a couple of vultures that can smell blood and looking to be fed.

    But then this w.w comes with them, wistfully wishful. yr dreamy desires, hopes and aims `what lies in store?`. Even she was powerless to stop them coming in, that is until she put her arms around you and reassures you that she will never leave you, can always depend on her. Suddenly you have the strength to stave off the other two, inspiration pops back in and lonely&selfish promptly sod off!

    I love this michelle, funny, hidden depths and unpredictable all the way through. think you know what my favorite line is `what the bloody h@ll!` so wish i could here you say that, yr accent would give it a innocent charm!!!

    hi Michelle! LOL! ya, i kinda stole Loneliness from you and put her in my poem! you should thank me for that! kekeke... but i've given her the boot recently so let's hope she doesn't return to you! LOL! i have to thank you though. it was your Inspiration, Trepidation, Wistfully Wishful, Lonely and Selfish that inspired the awakening... this use of feelings as characters that metaphorically represents our emotions is just amazingly liberating! thank you! i have so much more to learn from great writers such as you, Craig and Madicyn! so keep it coming gal! (ps: were u attempting a singaporean slang back there in your comments on my poem? "LAR"???? hahahah! :P)
