1. Wow! Love this:
   “Necklaced words,
   stringed to sense
   of sentenced tense,”
   Really stunning use of words!

2. I overdosed on rules —
   ignored advice
   and unveiled my vice,

   It is good once a while not to conform. It gives a sense of power and a feeling of triumph at the end of it!

   Necklaced words,

   of sentenced tense,
