The leaves fall and brush my face
but then the tigers come.
Brutal claws swipe
the remaining shreds fall
and I sink to the ground in tears.

It wasn&#039;t said by me, but my favorite quote is: &quot;Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it&#039;s done, they&#039;ve seen it done every day, but they&#039;re unable to do it themselves.&quot; - Brendan Francis
