I am ever inspired by your works David! From this site I have taken two muses. One for fiction, and one for poetry, may you both know who you are, Mr. Waguespack and Dear Mr. Paget. You write the most uniquely enchanting poetry, intertwined with wondrous narrative. Thank you so much for sharing your work with the rest of the waiting world...
