If you haven’t figured it out by now, my favorite book is The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje. The film (which you probably knew before the book) is great, but it doesn’t come close to the wonder that is the book.

My only real experience with The English Patient is that Sienfeld episode where Elaine has to watch it with Mr. Peterman, and she hates it. But I’ll have to check out the book if it got your seal of approval.
Awesome ficlet by the way. It felt epic in a way I imagine the book to be.

OMG I forgot about that episode. Freaking hilarious. The film is good, but the book is fantastic and yes, even epic. Thanks for the comment and the compliment.

I don’t like to put boundaries of what people write or the style. It just seems to lose creativity. If that makes any sense. Great entry. I loved the movie, maybe I should read the book.

haven’t read it nor seen the movie, I’m behind I know! but I loved your poem!
