Ahhh what a refreshing read! ! ! That was great! ! Im chuckling after reading that one.. That was a brillant write and very much enjoyed! Im intrigued by the inspiration.. Hope by a real first meeting! ! Yet even so the style of your writing just engages a reader... WE WERE ALL SUCKED IN BY THE MADMAN! ! ! ! hahaha and we are all the happier for it... Take care and enjoying your clever poems, Mel xx
I love this Jerry, the characterisation and poetic dialogue is superb - intriguing, engaging and definitively yours. jz.
If only more madmen were available... lol I was glued to the scene, absolutely being led into her agreeing with the stranger... incredible write, I really loved this one Jerry! ! All tbe best, Lee
