[stylist] New poem--Cane of Cchulhu

[EvaMarie Sanchez]

 Barbara, You are adorable. I do not think it matters. It is an "insert
name here" poem. As long as you get something from it, whatever you get, it
should be enough. For we are all going to perceive things our own way after
all.
I remember I once posted as story, flash fiction, and everybody who
commented had a completely different take on it. There was a lot of traffic
on it too, but we all had different experiences that we brought to the
reading.
Even though no one had it the way I intended, it felt good that everyone
enjoyed it and got something from it.
