1. Know LOUD is seen, seen can touch the hem of Love.

2. Family can come in divided form, help draw the line, but plant feet on both sides.

3. One layer, two. Just add sparkle. Diverted crowds equate animal fantasy with confused lust.

4. Want what everyone else is having. Sample it all. Come back for seconds. Buffett last inch of laden plate.

5. Vulgarizer. Innovator. Mimic and flattery are pavement pigeons.

6. Hatch Love, clothespin hold down fluttering wings fabric makes as it attempts to flee.

7. In the absence of No, silence erects pretty, White picket fence future out of feeble Yes.

8. Words unspoken nullify spells cast in earnest, words upon parchment bind.

9. A witch can hold Whim in ten vials strung across her neck, hang capture and release at her pleasure.

10. Every Paper Queen needs a Paper King to help her rule flim flam kingdom. Off with his head at nine o’clock p.m. sharp.

11. Family can appear in united form, paint the board with a Royal Navy in full pageantry, behind the scrim, mutiny, pirates pulling defectors overboard.

12. Transformation is inevitable. We start the cycle once more. Love cannibalizes Itself.
