I thought your poem was brilliant. I lo...Jessica! I thought your poem was brilliant. I love poems that tell a story, but what I really enjoyed about this piece was the rhythm I fell into as I read. It wasn't dictated by meter or sound devices. Rather, it was the rhythm of the narrator's thoughts, as they'd played out before in her past, as they would have played out again had she not committed her crime that night. Fantastic!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899768909313326172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-36055220613045871832010-05-08T01:23:02.836+03:002010-05-08T01:23:02.836+03:00Your words drew me in and at the end...I wanted mo...Your words drew me in and at the end...I wanted more.

AlliAllo ~
For about a year and a half now, I ...Yo! AlliAllo ~<br />For about a year and a half now, I have subscribed to a current events magazine called The Philadelphia Trumpet. This magazine expresses a Biblical world-view. I don’t always agree with their interpretations of how world events fit into Biblical end-time prophecy, but I find their articles always erudite and well worth considering. <br /><br />Well, I fell behind in my Philadelphia Trumpet reading, and when I received their latest edition, I realized that I had not yet read their April installment. So I got caught up last night, and in my reading I was reminded of you because a few articles addressed the current situation in Greece and I found them interesting. In case you would like to see what they think about that issue, I’m including links to two of the articles.<br /><br />This first one is a month old (from the May issue) and it’s titled <a href="http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?q=7062.0.123.0" rel="nofollow">The Greek Crisis Was Planned!</a><br /><br />This second one, from the current issue, is titled <a href="http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?q=7148.0.124.0" rel="nofollow">We Were Wrong— Germany Is Taking Over</a>, in which they report on a secular think-tank that apparently is arriving at the same conclusion that The Philadelphia Trumpet expressed in their earlier May article.<br /><br />Agree or disagree, I think you might find this stuffs worth thinkin’ ‘bout.<br /><br />I hope you are well and safe there.<br /><br />~ Stephen<br /><i>"As a dog returns to his own vomit, <br />so a fool repeats his folly." <br />~ Proverbs 26:11</i>Stephen T.
