I have been playing around for a while now with the idea of a series of linked short stories that deal with human characterisations of the seven deadly sins. Essentially the main thing stopping me is the linking of the stories. However, the other day at work , I was struck with another cool idea, and the beginning lines of a poem for the LUST story worked its way into my head. Basically, i figured that it would be kinda cool to have short poems (of a sort) to begin each story with, and perhaps use that as the linking device. Yeah. How cool's that?
But I digress; this is the opening stanza of the LUST poem, which I think will actually be story number 3, as I want to do the GREED and PRIDE stories first. But I'll go with what I have for the meantime. Here goes:
"Last night I dreamed a dream of you,
A dream of dread desire,
And in that dream dark passions flowed,
Which filled my heart with fire."
So there you are. I think it works. If you like it, or it doesn't work for you, then please, leave a comment, everyone is able to.
Cheers, and good night, Blake.
