> I'm really happy about the Pool and looking forward to reading it. One thing though.... those of you who are regulars on the forum and submitted poetry, if your name on there is different than the one you use here, would you be willing to post it? I'd like to be able to connect names there with names here.... I'm Lynette Yorgey, I have all the last ones =)

This is kinda sorta related to that. I can't decide if I should submit this or not. What do you guys think?

Upon the Death of a Prisoner

"Morituri te salutant!"
The phrase echoes in
Her head once again,
A bitter tear slides down.
Here stands a boy. . .
To be torn apart by lions.
He walks past her,
Doesn't even see her.
The boy is gone
Into his world of
Pain and destruction,
Into the jaws of
Hideous beasts.
The girl brushes away
That single tear and
She keeps walking.
He is gone forever.

I'd really appreciate the input.
