The Sock Drawer - 20. My Lord Blood Gem

This text exudes richness and substance. The poem is like a wonderfully complex red wine, with shades and nuances and tastes that will change with reading and re reading. It is an awesome thing you have written, Doctor.

Phew, thank you. I was worried it had far too much removed imagery and mood to be readable, that it just reads like a hot mess of homemade symbols that couldn't possibly make any sense to anyone but myself.

I'm really relieved you could find something in it. (Something else with each read, as it seems.)

Yeah, I'll go with what Parker said!

Ok, you asked for it, Doc, and now you've got it: a review I wouldn't normally write. It was a very good poem, but at the expense of sounding stupid, it was too deep for me! lol

I'll read chapter 21 now.

No, as I said in response to Parker, it was probably just too personalised. I'm still fairly certain that no one reading this actually imagines the same things I did when I wrote it. But that doesn't really matter for this text, as long as the reader sees *something*. And see, now you've confirmed that I went over the top here and that's what I need from a review, honest critique when something's off!

So thank you very much!
