    One Windy Day.
    ################

    On a windy day,
    She was three things, she was one.
    The heart of my love.

    - J.




    It's *wrong*. It feels *wrong*. It doesn't have the "spring". I'm
    sure that I can do better.

    I need to think on this.




    That Windy Day.
    ################

    She became three things
    She remained forever one
    All the love I have.

    - J.

    Hmmm, better-ish, but the last line is iccky. It's a bit nicer than
    "The love of my life", I think but not by much.

    Yep, that last line is dreadful.


    ############################

    Okay:

    The Day That Changed It All.
    ############################

    She was three and one.
    Fiancoe, Bride, glowing wife.
    The one I would hold.

    - J.


    Okay. That's *better*, but still not perfect.

    Damnit, I want *her* opinion. :)

    Well, I will never know about that. They don't like my browser, they
    don't like my operating system, they hate that I block their scripts
    and advertisements and won't let them snoop up my data and they won't
    even respond when I correctly answer their "security question".

    I don't think I'll ever be seeing that site.

    Is there any chance that the discussions, if any, of my stuff could
    be ripped into a Usenet post?
