    Loved this one my friend. Loved (str8) very creative. And the straight line of words emphasizes it. You are right no one cares if the line is straight or not in a narrative.

        Good write T. Let's draw the line - or a barrier - to stop the glugging one getting in. Ol' Tom or Obi got anything to say?! lol.

              Apprentice labyrinth (content though very relatable for me) Keep up the good work!šŸ˜‚šŸ˜Š

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Hahahaha! Yes. A...um...trial run, shall we say? All jokes aside, I do have a labyrinth poem completed, my friend. Coming tomorrow! Hopefully I can get it to format right here, otherwise, I will drop a url to it on a file. It's going to be better to view it on a PC rather than a phone/mobile device too. LOL! Thanks so much, Dave and I am glad you could relate to the content as well. That's always huge for me. Much appreciated!!! šŸŽ­šŸ¤šŸ”„šŸ™
