     "Carry a torch for me, keep safe a taper"

     she whispered so quietly into his ear.

     Maybe too quietly. Eighteen months later

     He made her a gift of a full-grown tapir.

This really should have waited for my other short poems to catch up and get themselves written down. But I love this, and I want you all to like it, so here it is by itself. Idea, indirectly, from ~MacDoherty

Wonderful, as usual, as expected.

"Lord what fools these mortals be."
Yep, Vampires...cool.
I think I love this doubly because I actually misread 'taper' in the preview as 'tapir', wondered what on earth you were on about, and then was deliciously surprised. :D

We need to catch up, my friend.

I wanted to read this the minute I saw the title, and I enjoyed every inch of the poem.
