The exercise:

Write a four line poem about something that is: close.

Mine:

The doubts had appeared after the Karsk twin hit -
Such close names, Charlie and Clyde.
Now Buddy was convinced that it would have been
Best if both brothers had died.

Ok, this is a tad late, so I'm sorry about that. I did see you're catching up on comments again :) Well done, and it's nice to see that you're enjoying the tale of the Four Horsemen so far. I shall try and make sure that Pestilence and Famine don't upstage War for you.

It's nice to know a little more about these twins, though I suppose now there's only one left they're not twins anymore, just half of a pair. I am curious as to why Buddy didn't get both though, given his... thoroughness... on other occasions :)

Close
And holds its secrets close. The sailor must
Return it seems and while he comes the Ro-
-bot will invade the dreams of every liv-
-ing child. Madame Sosotris sneezes once.

Greg - well, you got to it before I got to commenting on it, so that's all that matters :)

Yeah, I'm not sure yet. I think maybe Buddy got a little too complacent and slipped up... but we'll see.

I... do not like the sound of this Robot of yours at all.
