    Wowwy wow.
    1. nice blog page! :-O
    2. Wonderful, wonderful use of words, "Blood is like a fine wine"
    An unbelievably awesome conparison, and it automatically creates a picture of who the person is.

    Gorgeously horrifying
    or horrifyingly gorgeous.
    You pick which one you like.

    This is great, honestly. So well done. I love the picture that pops into my head reading these words. Figures, you would take the vampire route. lol

    This is a really beautiful piece. It flows so well and has a tinge of righteous sorrow to it. Great visuals.

    I hate to say though - did you use oscillate instead o oscitate? I can't find oscitate in here... Sorry :(

    Thank you, Richard, Miranda, and MyTricksterGodsaid...

    Sorry, it took me a while to get the link up--kept on misspelling it--

    And thank you to My Trickster for stopping by. You ever want to write a review on my book, feel free! [; Thanks for your comments today.

    So, anyone now should be able to link to that and "like' if they so desire.

    Cortney--thanks for you comment, my book also has similar elements (or so I've been told)

    Thank you for stopping by!

    KT Hanna has a good point. My spellcheck gave me the word osctillate. I went with it. You all can either vote for this or not, I don't really care. I've spent WAY too much time on this as it is, and I'm not going to change it. The word oscitate took me 15 min. to find as a Spanish word meaning Yawn or gape. I'd rather leave my poem as is. Everyone here said they loved it. It doesn't matter to me one way or another, but I like seeing that a number of people have stoped by and said they enjoyed it. Plus one person became a follower and that's really what this whole thing was about, isn't it? I mean this was to help get other people to your blog. To me that's more important than winning a contest. {: so, basically I'm winning over fans and that's a wonderful thing.

    Vampires stories are not my thing, but I truly appreciate your poem. I think these words do work well into a poetic format and you have created a strong voice here. It's not about winning, I agree, and this second challenge is taking me far too long. I shall, however, be voting for this one ;)

    Yay! I love poems!

    Your piece is so cerebral - the best kind, in my opinion!

    Great job!

    Pretty poem! I like how it flows. Can almost imajone this as a rap song.

    I am pretty sure the word is not oscillate. Must have been the spell check; when I wrote mine, word tried to turn into oscillate, too. Word's dictionary is deficient.

    Nicely done. As someone else said, vampires aren't my thig but this was well done. Mine is #29

    Thank you, Bridgetstraub, and Sonia.
    My comment above explains that, yes my spell check went *poof* and I didn't realize that it had. I simply went with the word. I am not changing this poem merely to fit the format, because I've spent too much time on it as it is.
    Anyway, I thank you to everyone who has stopped by and made a comment. That's the whole idea behind this "challenge", and it has done what it was supposed to do. :D
