Re: NiteTide
I am glad that you enjoyed the poem. I hope that the emotional pain did not cause actual cardiac distress. I wrote the poem based on "The Raven". of course. It was written for a friend who had been suffering through a period of great distress, awaiting news regarding a promotion that she desperately wanted. She didn't get the promotion, but the poem did lighten her heavy heart. Regarding your grammar suggestion, it was much appreciated. I have now, and always will have one body. I have enough problems keeping the one I have now in shape, much less having to worry about two.

The confusion, frustration, and anger can be all felt within this poem. I feel like I can almost
hear the crack of the mind as it happens during the wait.....amazing! If I may be a grammar nazi for just a second: your line "From my bodies store" - suggests that you have more than one body. If this is true and was done purposefully, ignore me. But if you meant from just your one body that you have, then it should be "body's store." Besides that, I think your poem was just amazing! My chest just squeezed in emotional pain. WOW.
