I try to throw in a little word play as much as I can, without making it sound too precious.Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-45519020614623627442011-05-30T10:35:57.348-04:002011-05-30T10:35:57.348-04:00Francis, so many delight lines and images in this ...Francis, so many delight lines and images in this poem, from the reflection "rearranged / roughly" to your delicious word play: utter and utterly and "Their absent promise is absolute, / and absolution." And I love those last two lines.<br /><br />RichardMr. Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507517064398624652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-24229893181921973872011-05-28T20:31:41.568-04:002011-05-28T20:31:41.568-04:00@Brenda Thanks :).

How often we choose to be lulled, or enraptured and let the light of reason slip away. <br /><br />I often wonder if religious fanatics need their dogma like an addict needs a needle. <br /><br />There is a seedy underbelly to this piece, but the words flow lovely. <br /><br />~Brendabrenda whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00846306414656375463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030337.post-29141840828798381682011-05-27T12:10:44.314-04:002011-05-27T12:10:44.314-04:00@Pamela Yeah, I'm sure come Oct 21, he'll ...@Pamela Yeah, I'm sure come Oct 21, he'll have a new date ready too.

..goo...'Lulling with their yellow tongues'<br /><br />..good point Francis. Sweet words<br />can often roll off lying tongues.<br />Like the song of the sirens luring the sailors to crash and splinter on to the rocks.<br /><br />Sometimes it's hard to resist a really good tune.
