Paula Swanson Poet Narrative

The Diary of Lord Kellington (17)

Being that I am a philosophical being.  I find myself pondering many unique thoughts, 
as I sit and stare off at the night time sky.

Earlier, I dined upon a sweet, young flower seller, down at the Square.  She wore a 
shawl about her shoulders ,that were stooping too soon on someone so young.  As 
though the weight of all her thoughts, rested upon her delicate shoulders.  Well, she 
has no need to worry now.  After I sampled her blood, I slipped a thousand Pounds 
into her skirt pocket.  It always does good for a shepard to tend his flock.  

Ah yes!  Pondering thoughts.

I wonder what would happen, if  were to awake to be mortal once more?
What if I were to conceive an allergy to blood?
Maybe I should allow myself to fancy myself in love and marry?
What if I were to enter a church in all my monstrous glory?  What fun!
Or, what if I was no longer welcomed by Polite Society?
What if my tailor quit!?
Or say, if I were to reach out to you, the reader of my night time missives, right now.  
Grab you 'bout the throat and drink deep?  Ha!

But, what nonsense I ponder and write of.
For I will always be welcomed among Polite Society.  I am far too charming not to be.
My tailor, although routinely vexed with me for the late night hours I employ his 
services, would never quit me.  I pay his exorbinate fees without qualms.
The rest of my meanderings. Ha!  I fear not a one.

But, the mere thought of Crystal having kittens herself....GADS!

Andrea Dietrich November 1, 2010 at 10:01 PM oh,that last sentence, so FUNNY, Paula. Sorry I missed your stories over the holiday. i had a very very terrible weekend. I can't begin to describe what happened. And it curtailed all my activity here except to drop off a post one time. I enjoy your story telling so much. tell me why did you remove your stories from the blogs? I could have sworn these stories were over there yesterday and I finally had time to see them and they were not over at the blogs! Let me go see the ending now!!! andrea

Carolyn Devonshire October 31, 2010 at 9:20 AM Oh my, Crystal may be pregnant with kittens? It's funny the way Lord K considers himself welcome in "Polite Society." If they knew what he was up to, surely he would be shunned. Now I have to go and read the finale'! Been waiting for this, Paula, and have really been thrilled by this compelling series. Thanks so much for providing us with Halloween entertainment! Love, Carolyn
