Poem: Lux Dieis Natalis

[nebroadwe]

In honor of evil_little_dog's natal day, I post this tanka on behalf of Edward Elric:

Stumbling in darkness,
Haunted by whispers until
Light breaks in at last:

Who'd have thought that birthday cake
Could hold so many candles?

What can I say? He's a snarky one, he is.

Many happy returns!

He'd certainly get, "Age and experience always beat youth and a bad haircut," though. [Tries to act like Ed isn't within earshot.]

BWAHH.

Not exactly the terminology I was thinking of but yes, yes, that works, as well.

Why, what terminology were you thinking of, then?

Oh, something decidedly more wicked...because my brain lives in the gutter. *grins*

Ah, yes. Should've remembered that, except with the "evil" in your userid I keep envisioning you in the basement, surrounded by Tesla coils and bubbling retorts (with a hunchbacked assistant playing the theremin, of course) and just possibly getting ready to shout, "It's alive! It's aliiive!" over a quivering pile of manuscript pages ...

Oooo, if only. If only.
