I love it. A triumph of indirect description. You know exactly what it is, but...

...no fish or game laws got broken.

I particularly enjoyed the roof caving in.

Yeah.

Your poems are getting better and better.

This one doesn't waste a single word. It's vivid and, yes, erotic.

I'm glad you gave it time, Hedge Origin Mirth & got something out out of it - cheers - langsandy

Hmmmm, yes. Clever, and effective. Very condensed.

kind words - thanks LL Waz - langsandy

Hi langsandy, here again to say we'd like to feature one of your pieces in the UnderGuide. Or more accurately two, because we'd like to pair it up with Mood Swing.

In a condensed version of the QA review - A stimulating read with quite a charge, but not top drawer by langsandy’s standards. The style clever and distinctive, though well worked over now. There is novelty here in a creepy, leery quality – but it seems like I’m the only one to comment who got that.
Sparse and intense is a difficult combination. There’s a risk that the sum of these two attributes is brutality, and I think the piece maybe strays too near it.

Congratulations langsandy, and thank you for the entries you post here and the reads you give us,
UGeds

Jeez - I tend to miss my messages - like this one that surprises me - but thankyou for the honour - cheers - langsandy

And here are both Smokeater and Mood Swing:

I just had one query about Mood Swing - do you want the US spelling of 'color'? Struck me you might very well intend something by it, so I thought I'd ask.
