Blue Penciled

And so the end!
I've read a lot of better plots
Than this- so very thin in spots,
With action camouflaged by dots,
And badly penned.
Not ultra bright,
Though showing promise at the start.
But then some stupid lines in part
And bits about a broken heart,
All rather trite.

And so it's strange
That it has power to haunt me so;
That each re-reading thrills me so;
That in it's spell, emotions grow
To such a range.
r must delete
This interlude we two went through,
This tale that doesn't quite ring true,
And realize in chapter two,
We do not meet.
