Serious replies please. Please ignore the periods at the start of some lines, you need a character in Y/A for new line spacing.

"Above Her Shoulders"

The starry silhouette shining over her shoulders
. beseeches: Re-align to a harder view!
. Grand design always hearkens back to rue.
Tarry darkness, and damnable pin light smolders
. amidst hollow heat, lest to mine eyes: the beholders.
. So petty, none to fine, and all so few true
. feelings are felt when looking beyond her hue.
Reeling and falling, failing! Love hast grown colder.
So short a while, up on top. Such courtly smiles,
. coyly, could never stop. Oh! Whoa! Such trials!
Thou, expanse above, hast lain a burden upon my breast,
. revoking my dove’s ascent! Down to permanent rest!
Grief! No relief, I canst no longer hold her,
. with such resplendence up above her shoulders.

I'm in need of a good (not boring or raunchy) love story to read on my vacation. What are your favorite suggestions? Thank you!

I'm an avid reader and for a long time I wouldn't even consider getting an electronic copy of a book. But I had to change my mind when I found that some of the stories I was interested in reading were only available in e-book form. And just like I thought I like the actual books better. I can carry the hard copy books around with me, but even with my notebook e-books are a pain. And depending on where I am I have no privacy (I can't stand people reading over my shoulder). Every one knows what I'm reading. Call me old-fashion, but actual books are better. So which do you like?

The title "of Mice and Men" comes from a poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns. The poem "To A Mouse" describes how a mouse's home is indeed destroyed. A significant line in the poem, the line from which the novel is taken, is "the best laid schemes o'mice and 'men gang aft agly." In our words, even the most organized ideas can still not work out.

Do you agree with Burns' comment about plans and dreams? Why do you think that we still continue to dream despite the fact the many dreams are never realized and many plans are often defeated?

A member of my writing group is currently writing a book about a German POW (not a Natzi) captured in Paris and imprissoned in California. Every day he stares out his window at a distant ranch house, drawn to it for no apparent reason. Then one day, he and several other prisners are detailed to work at this ranch, and the protagonist falls head over heels in love with the ranch owner's beautiful daughter, who is half-Anglo and half-Mexican. The biggest conflict is one of her brothers died during the invasion of Normandy and the other one is still fighting in Europe.

Just off the top of your head, what would be a good working title for this book. BTW, the protagonist's name is Fritz, and the girl of his dreams is Sarah.

My son is in 3rd grade and he only prefers books that are a part of a series. The local library only offers a small choice and I want him to maintain a love of reading.
