# Bookwyrm changes mode: +mi

<Bookwyrm> The Monster
<Bookwyrm> -
<Bookwyrm> A ping comes out of nowhere
<Bookwyrm> And it's testing you for lag
<Bookwyrm> You might think that it is harmless . . .
<Bookwyrm> Until your defenses flag.
<Bookwyrm> -
<Bookwyrm> But just wait 'til you respond slow
<Bookwyrm> And until your pong is weak
<Bookwyrm> For 'tis then it reaches for you
<Bookwyrm> While you sit quiet and meek
<Bookwyrm> -
<Bookwyrm> For 'tis then you'll meet the monster
<Bookwyrm> That all IRCers fear
<Bookwyrm> Your connection has been closed . . .
<Bookwyrm> You have been . . .

<Ksulitan> Knowledge
<Ksulitan> -
<Ksulitan> The spark ignites it
<Ksulitan> It struggles to grow bigger
<Ksulitan> And become a flame.
<Ksulitan> -
<Ksulitan> The flame starts to die
<Ksulitan> But then it is rekindled
<Ksulitan> And grows once again.
<Ksulitan> -
<Ksulitan> It needs help to grow
<Ksulitan> And yet some will not help it
<Ksulitan> Then the flame will die.
<Ksulitan> -
<Ksulitan> Don'
<Ksulitan> Don't let the flame die
<Ksulitan> Nurture it every day
<Ksulitan> Help it to flourish
<Ksulitan> All done now....

* Silvermist smiles..."Pretty..."
* Ksulitan starts to turn red at his mistake in presentation
* Bookwyrm applauds again, hiding incompetently in the control booth. :-)
<Silvermist> Tis allright....
<Kreldon> Very nice...very true, too
<Ksulitan> I've actually had that one published.....
* Eredien claps. That is very good.
<Bookwyrm> Silvermist now offers us her insights regarding "The Interview" :-)
# Bookwyrm changes mode: +miv Silvermist
* Silvermist glides up to the front, "This one came to me from a couple of job interviews this week."
<Silvermist> A single breath taken deep
+ Left IRC: Kalytyra

<Silvermist> Shivers along my spine do creep
<Silvermist> I force my racing heart to slow
<Silvermist> Facint fears my heart does know
<Silvermist> uncertainty in me abounds
<Silvermist> My mind chases posibilities around
<Silvermist> I wonder if I am enough for this
<Silvermist> My courage now seems hit or miss
<Silvermist> Faking boldness I step inside
<Silvermist> My fate I hope for good to decide.
<Silvermist> --end--

# Bookwyrm changes mode: -miv Silvermist
* Bookwyrm applauds . . .
* Ksulitan appauds while looking introspectively
* Silvermist smiles..."Ever feel nervous before an interview?"
* Eredien smiles at Silvermist and claps. I liked the line about courage a lot. Had a ring to it, of truth and of poetry.
<Kreldon> Very good!
* Silvermist grins.
<Draygus> That was great Aunty  :>
<Silvermist> Thanks....

<Bookwyrm> K'Sulitan has another poem for us now . . .
# Bookwyrm changes mode: +miv Ksulitan
<Ksulitan> Well...this one doesn't have a title but I would appreciate any suggestions afterwards
<Ksulitan> ahem....

<Ksulitan> Her form haunts my every waking moment,
<Ksulitan> The sound of her name calls to me from afar,
<Ksulitan> The more that I try to forget, the more it consumes my mind.
<Ksulitan> And yet, I secretly long for this to continue,
<Ksulitan> Hopelessly wondering why it bothers me so.
<Ksulitan> Dare I continue to fight this vision?
<Ksulitan> If only I could end this maddening unfamiliar feeling that fills me.
<Ksulitan> Then, and only then would I find peace.
<Ksulitan> --end--

* Bookwyrm applauds again . . .
* Draygus claps :>
<Silvermist> oooh.....very well done, Uncle. *smile*
