The Hour of the Wolf

[tectak]

---

Abu suggest distant bells to introduce the shack and mimic the tick. I tried it but don't prefer it; is it because of the way it is written? I agree with everything else (not because of "meant" to kill) but your's is more poetic. I disagree at the clock, my first edits had the man being torn apart, vomiting,
pacing; therefore,, the clock was unknowing of the violent storm; yes, i know a clock is unknowing but I felt it symbolic; sorry about the punctuation; I feel like this is really your poem; boy, do I have work to do! Thank you very much. I will edit again if i can find where; for the last time. I hope you know how much I appreciate your time and effort. Best, Loretta

Loretta,

I hope I have not lured you from the straight and narrow. I had just been taken with the idea of several 'withins' dotted though the poem to pick it up. Some people like to put a poem away for a month or two, and then come back, but do emember it is yours -you make all the choices, and reject ideas which don't appeal, even if they come from Zeus himself, or tectak.

Amen to that.
