of course! I wouldnt say it if it wasn't true. Great stuff, really. one of these days when I'm not on just to check stuff I'll read some more of your work... *laughs* I'll get around to it. I'll just kinda procrastinate about it forever and a day.

I like this one a lot. The simple yet powerful imagery, the rhyming scheme, the flow... it's all wonderful

Nice job.

Thanks.

I use "boogie man" to mean the "grim reaper". Also refer to the boogie man in my poem, "Is There Really Deliverance?".
