Chuck, I liked both yours and TJ's versions, but still was not completely satisfied with the rhythms...which to me are more important than the rhymes. It's a fascinating subject and the poser illustration you did for it was amazing. Please forgive me for tweaking your poem, but here is my take on it. "Beneath the stars that twinkle bright Prowl those imprisoned in the night. Harlot painting will bring the stares, They're barely clad to flaunt their wares. Clearing remnants of filthy dicks They crouch in alleys 'tween their tricks." ps...i dont know what a choad is either, sounds like a britishicism to me, lol.

Fractals will always amaze me!
