After-words

Lil red reaper
 
Little Read Writing Hood

–wrote a lot

it did her good

writing of a day gone by

explaining
 
 
why

she lost the guy,

and how a maiden

mostly good

would trade her halo

for a Hood……

a cowl that without a priest,

is frightening—to say the least

since only creeps

will hide a face,

that reaps the spoils of human race,

writing off, with little trace

–beyond a page

in formless Book

that predates Kindle,

E, and Nook

and reads like fiction

–saving grave

>epilogue<

on Final page.
