Long Acquiescing Poems

"The Messenger"

Love is rich with

He was one of those guys you just knew would be a dud. "Be nice", she said to herself.

Spore your appreciation, edification, information...,
orchestration, and utilization,
a moss fungi (fun guy) attests his marriage
synonymous with symbiotic relationship.

With advice from Han succeeding
To produce a soaring flight path

Volition, orientation familiarization aahing

inviolable honorable gentility -
