Granulations on finishing your poem story in fine fashion. A happy ending for all. Nice ABCB rhyme and some catchy alliteration as well. I enjoyed it and I realize how difficult it was to do this. Nancy

this is very well written, christine, you did an excellent job writing this poetic tale of a night gone wrong and what was done to fix it. i have to admit i haven't read the previous chapters. i promise to look at them later.

Comment from Norbanus
As often is the case with tales in verse
this one reveals a story wracked with grief.
She woke to see that things had gotten worse
and found there was no reason for relief
But soon regrets swirled 'round and made them think
that using arsenic was an awful stretch.
Then Tomas brought in talc to break the link
And Jonathan knew he'd found quite a catch.
But Leslie Ann knew now it was too late.
She'd have to find a way to start anew.
Time is truly wounder of all heels,
and Leslie Ann has learned just how it feels
A mighty project you tell like a song,
a tale of life that's fourteen verses long.

Comment from jmdg1954
It always is somewhat sad when something like this comes to an end. I thought you did a good job writing this story in verse. I try to incorporate both in done of my doggie stories, it's not easy!
Good luck with this and your next endeavor. John

A very interesting read. It is possible to set the way to cause someone to completely lose their mind. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

Comment from adewpearl
excellent alliteration in cower/covers and cowers is a great verb choice for its meaning and intensity
strong abcb rhyming - love the pairing of nemesis/paralysis
Congratulations on finishing this ambitious story poem :-) Brooke

Comment from conroy11
This is a haunting poem with a clever abcb rhyme scheme. I like how you rhymed "nemesis, paralysis" and "scheme, self-esteem."
"The long night at the lab with dead (bodied) all around her"
I think you meant "bodies" here.

No! I am so sad this is the end! I loved this very much and plan on bookmarking it so I can re-read it again. You did so wonderful with this. 14 chapters of a story poem. Beautiful job! I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Thank you so much for the Leslie Ann saga. It was a delightful treat!
