PurpleZephyrUnicorn Returns Under an Alias

of roosters rutting in the yard or Ariadne wailing
by her brother-beast.

Purple ZephyrUnicorn Responds to a Critique

Dumb critter, if in any of my lines

PurpleZephyrUnicorn Joins an Online Forum

You know PurpleZephyrUnicorn: more charming

And full of wit and wisdom beyond her years, to judge
by her high post count.
