wow, wow, and more wow. I just love your mind! I don't know of another who could come up with such an artful piece. It's stunning. I love it. It conjures up Quentin Tarrantinos "Kill Bill" pictures...and the man who made the swords. It is an art, for sure, just as any smithing and poetry is!! Excellent piece.

Your sheer genious always amazes me. The patience and placement it must have taken to write this, giving it flow and feeling, "shaping" the words as you did. Sheer brilliance.
Well done!!
