I know of this man This, father of yours I stumbled across his path A few decades ago When I was searching For a way of my own I took some time To examine his workings And found within them A smattering of truth As though he’d studied The prophets But, quite missed The point I saw that he’d fashioned An asylum, of sorts For the mean and the lazy And he’d set out a salt lick For the weak and the bovine And called them “Believers” Brilliant? Certainly. Charismatic? To be sure. But I dismissed him As an egocentric hedonist Of small worth Unwilling, himself To follow the Gospels That he had written So, tell me, dear Zena That you are not After all Your daddy's little girl [This message has been edited by wranx (03-03-2003 07:43 PM).] |

And he’d set out a salt lick For the weak and the bovine And called them “Believers” This piece Ed, sharp words that cut right through. Read it with a grin spreading wider with each verse and in between the lines [This message has been edited by Aenimal (03-03-2003 12:36 AM).] |

Another Anton? Interesting write. You delve into areas most fear to tread, Ed. Please don't ever stop doing that. |

Oh yes, you certainly beat to your own drum, and that's a very good thing. A provoker of many thoughts~ and one who dares to venture off the beaten track. |

My Dearest Ed... You don't know what this means to me... When I read this I cry...and you know why. A secret between you and I... that I know will remain just that. Vous savez que vous êtes mon plus cher amour. Je vous jugerai près de mon coeur cassé juste comme je tiens la mémoire de mon papa. Je t'aime pour toujours. Amore Heather Nichole |

Heavy stuff, here. Your work continues to grow and improve and search. Hope you are finding some answers. One tiny nit: Daddys' should be Daddy's. And that's a dark, scary pic, hmmm, wonder if I could do one like that? Don't laugh, I'm serious! Cor |

Well Cor, It helps if you're dark and scary, no? |

Awww, where's your pic? It is a cool pic, you know! haha, well, I might be scary to some! Fierce might be a better word. But I'd fail at coming of dark and scary. Silly and scary maybe... Cor |

Cor? smile, wait until those hormones kick in...  and yes, Ed...Anton did indeed invent himself, and oh I could go on and on...a wonderful write that I could discuss for hours--so I'll just say, enjoyed, and leave it at that.  |

Ed, I always know that when I read one of your poems, it's going to be very interesting. They always are.  Oh, and I like your new picture. Have I told you that yet? I can't remember. Hugs, Ethel |
