Hi Shadow. I kept my word and produced part 3 of my serial poem, I have actually written part 4 with the dramatic outcome, but it is under wraps till next month. I sometimes amaze myself with these story scripts, I guess it comes to watching those old serials from way back, I will continue this serial along with my normal poems, you may have noticed I formatted the story more like a poem than before, I will call this genre the Serial Poem,seeing they have no actual genre for this. I am so glad I delivered for you and the others, and I will keep using my inventiveness until the last part is completed.
