DAWGs: One-Eyed Sal History
Born and raised in the city of Marseilles, France, Sal loved to sail. Daughter of a successful fishing mogul, Sal had plenty of exposer to the sea. When she showed an interest and aptitude for fencing at the age of four, she was enrolled in classes as soon as she was old enough. Sal quickly rose to the top of her class. By seven, she had mastered the foil, epee, and sabre. By ten Sal was the top child fencer in France and excelling at other fencing styles from around the world and throughout history.

A monster who has world renown and fame.
His music is heard with loving embrace,
Yet most who hear do not know his true name.
This genius ghost lives within the pages,
Musty, old, forgotten by all but time,
A novel passed down through many ages,
Story repeated in horrible mime.
Some readers who peruse this tragic tale
May find the ending is not to their want.
Our beloved specters spirit does set sail,
But not in search of new places to haunt.

Of paradise,
Long tail speckled with jewels.
Ignored,
Neglected,
I have no need of your frayed feathers,
Tattered wings forever beating.
Years of straining against my skin
Must end.
Apart now are we.
Jesses loose,
You fly
As the falcon the flies,
Talons reaching for a
More worthy falconers hand.
