I received a message from TJ. He delicately expressed his concern about re-writing other people's work. I appreciate his decision to post to me privately. BUT...I DID post this message in here and it DID have an attempt at poetry in it. So, I should stand up and have it in public just like everyone else does. He suggested: 'Neath the stars that twinkle light; Are those who walk the streets at night. With painted faces to capture stares; But scarcely clad, to show their wares. Wiping off the choads from filthy dicks; They hide in alleys 'tween their tricks. Now, I like this version better than mine. Except for not knowing what "choads" are (nor how to pronounce it) Since I don't want others to have the same problem as I did...can someone offer a better fifth line? I will edit and change the poem. Thanks again, TJ, for helping. It's much better...just that one tweak.
