"A picture paints a thousand words," or so it's often told
A thousand words are priceless though, for treasures that they hold
An incidental consequence of value added prose
Are exponential visuals, from there the number grows
A thousand words for each picture, a picture for each word
A thousand times a thousand times a picture, once observed
Before the tower of Babel, before the language curse
Before there even was a man, was universal verse
Words spoken made the universe, and all that will occur
In the end we'll all know...in the beginning was The Word

Hi Jester, Excellent reminder in verse. StJohn 1:1;"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and  the Word was God."  Good to see you back in the forum. Blessings, Marcy

I like your use of this old say- how you developed the thought and the untimate to which it head"In the beginning was the WORD." A very different approach- but one with a terrific message--do it again, soon!

Jester! I had forgotten all about this Tower of Babel. I love what you did with it here in verse.  This is some excellent work!
There was ONE universal language.

Did you know that babel means confusion? God confounded or confused the language.  I just might write something on this. (maybe if I find time)  I love it Jester!!

God does have a sense humor. Just take a look at the platypus!

Becky, Sharon, and Marcy: Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you! I consider all 3 of you to be my mentors. I've learned so much from you Becky, I'm anxious to see what you write about "Babel", although I know you have even less time to spare these days. You know Sharon, you've guided me each step of the way, and I'd surely be lost in a poetry cyber-scam somewhere, if not for you. I love your heart Marcy, and I really appreciate your prayers and blessings. I'll humbly agree with you, and defer to Sharon's judgement. She knows her stuff, and her guidance is always gracious and wise. Thanks again, each of you!
