Got my copies of the anthologies...

Post by rdhopeca »

I ordered the three previous anthologies and got them yesterday. I read the first story of the first one Thule Of The Quill and really liked it. Looking forward to reading the rest of them. :D

I believe his actual remark was "I don't mind the taste". Besides, if he likes it, it only proves how good my original poem "Thule of the Quill", that so obviously based your story on, is.

Thule of the Quill

Day after day,
Alone on a Quill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a Thule,
And he never gives an answer,

But the Thule of the Quill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hear him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,

But the Thule of the Quill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,

But the Thule of the Quill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.

And he never listens to them,
He knows that they're the Thules
They don't like him,

The Thule of the Quill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.

Ooh,
Round and round and round

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion


I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Yes, when you stop to think about it, the writing talent at KW is remarkable, as well as the very existence of the Anthologies. I wonder if other message boards/fan sites have attempted similar projects, or if KW is unique.
