Um...I believe this is another one I'm going to need explaining on, Concetta.

My goodness. You make me feel so dumb.

LOL.

Just kidding.

Hope you're having a great day.

Take care, luv.

Cali -

Kinda cool. The last word of every stanza is the same word w one letter taken away. ("Plash" is a synonym for "Splash.) So: Plash, Lash, Ash, Sh. The other words are disturbing too (sorry!) as you realize they describe blood coming from a wound as someone dies. In the end, there's nothing left but diminishing death. Kinda depressing, but I love the word play.

Still in Boston. Back Tuesday.

Hope you're having fun, girl!

Hugs - C

My take on it was a battered woman finally being killed by her abuser.

Nicely done.

:o)

Dear M.E. -

Exactly so. Thanks!

BTW, I love wandering around your sites. Thanks for them.

Best,
Concetta
