One Night (edit #2)

[milo]

ha, this was written before I knew what a tanka was.

Although I complained about the word huddled before, that's got possibilities. I like forewent. Thanks.

thinking....

heh -just shows what taste can do, I was going to balk about "forwent", it feels, imo, too alien for this piece, I would go for something more comfortable like skipped.

ha, I agree, I was sounding out skipping, while fighting huddled.

Skipping, good. or skipped. or they skip.

if you could find a way to break on skipped it would provide a nice double meaning expressing the joy of not having children.
