The May Princess, she stands alone and young, with festal chains she throws her arms aloft; arrayed around her tender thighs are slung the wayward streams of stripy verdure soft.
The golden maid revealed before the throng, her virgin flesh exposed and moist, so bare; converses sweetly with the drove in song, as moving slowly to the brook they fare.
Once by the water'd bank, they praise their maid with garlands chaste, and stalks of ochre corn; thus praised and so adored, the girl cascades in to the water, drowned to be reborn.
The May Princess, she gave her life to be old Nature's bride for all eternity.

The next open space for Brain-Renting is in a little of a thousand years - up until then, I'm afraid I'm fully booked!
Don't worry about your poetry being pasted by your pederast prother..(hmm).. just don't write too many clichés!! :P (I'm not saying you do - god I hope I haven't given you a complex now, I haven't even read your stuff- let me read it and tell you what I think . . oh god, now I sound patronising. must stop....GAH!
