LJ Idol Season 7, Week 1 - Winding Up.

I stalk past a warehouse that I wish were mine, and hum the chorus of "Richard Cory". My long leather trenchcoat billows behind me; my frizzy silver mane is a flag to match it. The shadow I cast in the waning autumn afternoon would suggest invincibility to a casual observer

Glad you liked it!

Seriously, I love this piece so much, you have such an eerie desolate air when describing cities and the people therein.

[n_maranda_coy]

:::preens::: I do try.

Thank you.

But Iiiiiii I work in his factory! And I curse the life I'm living, and I curse my poverty! And I wish that I could be, yes I wish that I could be. Oh I wiiiiish that I could beeeeeeee...

This was really pretty and thoughtful.

Yay, somebody gets my musical references!

[I used to "front-load" them onto every entry for the last two seasons. I've broken myself of that habit, but since I think in music they still sometimes creep in.]

Thanks for reading.

I had an image of Captain Jack when I first read the description (must have been the coat). But, of course, you say so much more than what you've written -- and eloquently too.

[n_maranda_coy]

You are very kind!

Now THAT would be an interesting fate for ye olde Face of Boe... not a nice fate, but an interesting one.
