The Raven By Poe
<view this essay>.... weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore -
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

Working Together
<view this essay>.... because there's all this dead time which is when you'd be listening if there were voices. I'm a terrible writer. My hand is to slow for my mind. Words get lost in the mix of my logic. Sometimes a page only needs a few emotional words to make it complete.
