Evening, Gypsy. It's been a while, but here I am again 
Now up you must grow.
Don't be so darned slow.
Listen, ya bam,
you're gonna have to face it,
Sam, it's your turn to clear the snow!

In a silent butler.
There's a violent Cutler.
He swashes buckles
and buckles swashes,
every day, his face he washes,
then he dons his big, huge galoshes,
haunts some ships and plots revenge.
Until one day, his undoing comes,
foiled again, by those meddling kids!

Before she puts on a dress that's not too hot,
she checks the weather again.
"It's been ridiculously hot, and it's such rot!"
By magic, one appears!
"Thanks, Fears."
She looks sad.
"If only."
His signature outfit, he dons.
"One day, Donnie, you'll be Dawn."
His secret spills out of his eyes,
and he goes about his day.
Empty.
The world isn't ready for "him" to be "her".

Like nothing is real,
but he's starting to feel,
is he lost, or is he about to heal?
Only time will tell,

His shell is not empty.

Sorry, Andrew, I'm not good at crosswords unless they are really, really uncomplicated.
But could you also specify the word count for the answer, cus in a crossword, you usually know that much, and it might be helpful.
Actually, I totally forgot about that part. Silly me!
Forum Facilitator
Okay, so I'm trying to make this simple as possible, since the las thread I started was a bit convoluted. Well, the premise is simple: Describe a word with accurate, but misleading clues, just as a crossword might incuding letter count, the next person guesses it, then poses their own word description. I'll start:
An instrument; typically with four strings, garners a lot of puns, basically.

Usually, autumn is my favourite, but this year, it isn't, because it isn't showing up yet. Months of drought and a seemingly endless heat wave have still not abated.
Autumn, where are you?
I feel ya. Our autumn seems to be somewhat on hold, too; trees are changing colour, true, but the weather just isn't autumnal at all. It's supposed to pretty much skip autumn this year and go straight to winter. No thanks! Winter used to be my favourite season, but recently I've started appreciating the melancholic beauty of autumn. I like the transition and the fact that in autumn, my sinuses don't bother me as much as summer or winter. Damn, I don't half ramble.

Ormolu - noun
That is quite some word. I like it a lot, and until now hadn't heard of it.
My word is going to be: Potentiometer. An electronic device used to control the value of a circuit, most commonly used as a volume contrl. In thje giutar community, it's often shortened to "pot", but the full word "potentiometer" has a nice roundness to it. Po-ten-shee-omm-et-er.

Safe on their next vacation,
or were they?
It was a staycation,
which didn't hold much elation,
for no matter where they go,
they just ain't safe.
Take the last vacation:
They fell off a cliff!
Before that, they entered Satan's bunghole
(that was a whiff!)
Never safe, they took the staycation,
at leas if they got killed at the station,
their funerals would be in the same country.
Unless they got sliced and diced...
...Oh, Christ!
And that's the end of the unlucky bunch!

Cripes, Andrew! Deceptively simple doesn't even start to describe it, you cheeky ******* (affectionate term that sounds like "harsted" but deleted because you know I love you).

Does this work and fall under the terms of the game? I changed one letter, switched out the order - that means a letter was left out AND one added.
I'm not sure I'm getting this right, mate.
Nope, I totally got it wrong.
Add a letter, or subtract a letter, and mess up the order of same.
So an acceptable word would be of six or four letters for the first response. Right?
So, however you do it, the gist is basically to make an anagram with an extra letter in the word, or a letter taken away from the word. You can anagram then add/subtract, or subtract/add then anagram, whichever works, really.
Oops, gusss I should play, too!

The object of this game is deceptively simple: Make an anagram of the previous word, but add or subtract one letter. No abbreviations, acronyms or contractions allowed.
Example: "Want" can become "Tawny", but can't become "Wont" (a particular person's behaviour) or "Won't" (shortened for of "will not") because in the case of "Wont", a letter wasn't added or subtracted and in the case of "Won't", it's a contraction. We clear? Then go forth and have fun! I'll start off with an easy one:

The observant surfer will have noticed that I have moved the Forum on to its own domain. If you see anything strange with the forum or story sites please email / message me.
Thanks
Edit
I didn't notice that, but now that you mention it, here's something strange: At the top of the page, it says "logged in as Circle_Something", but my user name doesn't show up in the "users currently browsing this topic". Probably just a minor wee bug, but a bit disconcerting when one has been away for a while.

So, it turns out that I probably don't have carpal tunnel syndrome, after all. I got the results of my EMG, and they say that there's no significant compression of the nerves. I'm still having CTS-like symptoms, so guess what? Yeah, you guessed it, it's time to go back to the doctor and see if anything more can be done. I'm probably going to wait another year or so before getting any kind of indication as to what it MIGHT be. Fuck, right?

On Monday, I have a hospital appointment. Admittedly, I'm bricking it, but also quite happy that I might have some answers. For those who don't know, I've been battling with wrist pain, tingling, numbness and just all sorts of horrible afflictions of the wrist. Truth be told, it's not just my wrists, but my whole arms. Yeah, both of them. My GP suspects carpal tunnel syndrome, so has referred me to the hospital for electromyography, or nerve conduction testing. I've waited 14 months for this. I've been in pain for about two years. I'm ready, though scared. I'll be okay. I'll endure and survive.

They were standing near a waterfall.
Then they plummeted to their deaths.
It was 1983, a dull, boring day.
Nothing about it was gay,
there were just clouds of grey.
It rained that day,
their light was taken from the world that day;
they fell off a cliff.

New poem would still be good,
and so would food,
like wind on a fresh autumn day,
Hey!
A glimmer of light in winter
is much appreciated, too,
an ice lolly in summer,
and the ability to be with you
is just braw.
Rain, shine, name that weather,
come whatever season,
I will always want to be with you.
