LOL You don't hold anything back, Shay. That's what I love about you. <br /><br />I hope a great holiday.

This portion:<br />"Is he not more beautiful than any Antediluvian curiosity?<br />What will your search for Atlantis gain you, that you couldn't find here, with him, and with me?"<br /><br />I love that...the way you worded it and the idea that this is a question that one could pose today to a man...or woman who would want to leave their true-treasure. <br /><br />Great one!! :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124956200834969600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-65086483916839311252012-11-27T10:23:01.078-05:002012-11-27T10:23:01.078-05:00Beautiful, Shay--the second stanza is so finely ba...Beautiful, Shay--the second stanza is so finely balanced, between image and language, both dancing a careful minuet that only dances more deftly as the poem progresses, and seems to whirl your character through her own artfully, tastefully appointed ballroom to the place she most longs for and deserves to be. These dolls have been a great vehicle for your always amazing imagination.
