Also good morning everyone here! I think it's time for another batch of vampires from me, don't you think? Don't want to keep kirivian and everyone else following in angst too long now...

@paradiseplanet I totally agree. Time for Another Batch! (this is me waiting in angst :smiley: hold on a sec - :# - okay angst emoji on - GTG).

@Shinzen I'm just glad you're still with us. I get RL getting busy. Just thinking if you disappeared we would miss you. I am thrilled you like the pictures. Is it okay with you if I add Dakota and Ezra to Chatswin? They have really grown on me, and they are bonding nicely with Kissed by Cain in the test world where I am doing the photoshoots.

@kirivian I’m glad you’re going to peek early - you know I always do! As for the modelling comps, I know a lot of people edit their photos but I don’t think you have to (though I never enter so I’m not an authority on this). I don’t mind if your poem isn’t about sims! Would be interesting to read it :)

@MaggieMarley About the baby, I am really excited about this pregnancy, but I haven't even added Kissed by Cain into the actual game yet (although the house is almost ready), and because my rotational play is based on Seasons now, I haven't gone into Sylvie and Liliths household because I want them to be on KBC's rotation. So complicated.. lol.

You make a good point about the competitions, I assume that they are talking about image editing, but maybe it's just my excuse not to put myself on the line. Sharing here makes me a bit nervous, but in general, because y'all have been so nice about my stuff, I feel a lot more comfortable sharing it. I think I would probably not be very comfortable if I was doing it competitively. But I do appreciate your confidence in me. TY. So this is the repost (as you know I am not comfortable with linking threads within the forums so - repost). I hope you like it.

Its a villanelle, first draft, untitled. tentative title I'm thinking either for Mariella or Softer Roads.

However bleak the path you tread,
Be led by sense not passion wild.
I promise softer roads ahead,

though faced by hordes of devils dread.
Without succor from voices mild,
however hard the path you tread

whatever vows now shattered said,
"I'll guide you through the night, my child
I promise softer roads ahead.".

Too soon ideals fair ripped and shred
from trembling heart by love beguiled
however bleak the path you tread

young dreams once lively scattered dead,
and open hearts of faith reviled.
I promise softer roads ahead

if by head and not by heart you're led.
And if by patience be your actions styled
however bleak the path you tread
I promise softer roads ahead.
