Re: Overwrought

Ha. Clever. It's certainly true that writing can get so bogged down in fluff and glitter that it loses that pure element, the thing that makes it so beautiful in the first place. You've just reminded me that I'm horribly guilty of the mutilation of poetic simplicity. Killer vocabularly also, "embellished with flaymboyant excess" for effect. Wonderful piece...and guilt trip.
