Rain-soaked
flowers and
pints of bourbon

A soggy volume
of collected
erotic House
poems

She is a literary
pilgrim

Reading the
stones at the
cedar-bemused
cemetery

A madam who
threw herself
off the balcony
of The House of
The Rising Sun.

New Orleans is the grave of erotica. It just doesn't know it yet. When the ice on Greenland melts, the Gulf will rise 26 feet, engulfing Houston and putting he coast at Baton Rouge.

Outstanding Sage, a darkly illuminating tale, the superb imagery within is given futher resonance by an equally superb graphic. Kudos!

OMG, I love this write. Number one, House of the Rising Sun is one of my all time favorite songs; secondly, your words transmit an aura of mystery and yes, even danger. I am definately saving this one, thank you. :) BRAVA!

A tale of a fallen angel that is steeped in mystery and symbolism, that has a haunting and endearing quality Sage !
This is inlaid with with cryptic messages, that leave a number of interpretations and margin for conjecture and speculation !
The mark of a journeyman !
Excellent picture that befits the mystery
Peter

Stabbing Pencey Boudreaux by Mary Lynn Plaisance

A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.
