Re: Memorial Days
Linda, the impression I got from the last stanza was that they were 'working ladies', and if they stayed they'd never escape from brothel life

Maybe that's all most of us can do, Linda. As long as enough people try....
Interesting poem, and thanks for introducing me to him. I trust his change of heart wasn't a cynical way to gain more votes.

Re: Memorial Days
An engaging poem, Eric. You successfully examine the theme from many different perspectives, especially the women on both sides of the conflict. I almost imagined you breaking out in song with the rhyme in S3 :) Some nice wordage. Really liked War is a man-shaped demon. The final S is subtle, rest...

Re: Sadducee
Hi Linda, Apols for hijacking your poem. A final word. I do understand there are circumstances where it should be considered. One of my biggest issues is the numbers; 890,000 in the USA last year. During the fertile life of an American woman about 30 million legal abortions are carried out. There w...

Re: Sadducee
It's not just a religious objection (to abortion) though. And while the majority of people believe it's a woman's right to 'choose'...what a choice that must be. To say the right to choose doesn't imply being for abortion doesn't appear logical to me. It's like saying 'I believe the State should be ...

Re: "Ruin" on YouTube
Glad to hear that, Dan.
It takes balls to put yourself out there. We often feel envious of people who appear to be super confident when they're speaking in public, however, many of them are just like us. It's scary and challenging, but the sense of achievement (every time) is amazing...keep it up

Re: A Tragical Tale
That's a damn good dog poem, Eric.
Wonderfully inventive,
Tragically, Romeo (a bulldog neutered last week),
today plays alone with his squeaky bone

Kudos.

Re: She Still Dreamed
I like this, Linda. You show her well, her heroic stoicism, and despite her age/infirmity, she's still connected to her femininity.
Sad, subtly revealing, brimming with respect, and a sense of awe.
Glad you're not too badly affected.
