Lullaby

[Mark A Becker]

Hey Knot-

You may comment however you wish, as this is MISC. 

I will not take any offense, though I will not attempt anymore changes to this piece: it has become a favorite "child" of mine.

I invite you to attempt a variation of your own.

Mark

 so that I'm not tempted to ever mess with it again.

I'll keep my mouth shut then ... but oh, the temptation!

Best, Knot

Poe never came to my mind as I worked through this one, Duke, but it certainly became an apparition over the years.

Wow.  Aside from being good in itself, it reminds me oddly of Poe - the way his lines were sometimes almost total rhymes, or seemed to be.
