Well, 'Turmoil' got a better reception than I thought, with most thinking of Nick's relationship with Nat. So, I've done another specifically about LaCroix. This is patterned after a famous poem by Sergeant Joyce Kilmer entitled: Trees.

If you like, maybe I'll combine them and send 'em off to Mel for archiving.

To those wondering when Part II is coming out on my SW:TPM/FK xover: I'm working on it! I'm working on it! (Jest gotta quite procrastinating so much.... <g>) Kyer, [email protected] (who doesn't own FK. Okay?)

I think that I will never see
A vamp as cruel as old LC.

A vamp whose hungry eyes do glare
At all that for which Nick does care;

A vamp who with his raised eyebrow,
Does chastise Nick for drinking cow;

A vamp who may in good mood spare
Only to turn a cruel joke there.

Upon whose cold heart feeds disdain;
Who intimately serves out pain.

Fear and Need are twined in he,
A deadly dart that won't let be.
