jackals eat to the bone then eat the bone it is but a game wit of will versus instinct of survival one jackal does not a mad dog make but a pack - a pack fights with the jaws of one and the experience of many don't expect a jackal to touch gloves and come out fighting a gentleman's bout don't laugh at a jackal no matter how good their joke is because you are the punchline the secret to living another day when jackals circle is learning how to make a jackal cry |

 (big hugggsssssss) Yes, yes, and the moment that we touch a jackal to be sentimental and cry, then we can make more lions out of jackals and offer them the sense of loyalty and compassion to be prowess and largesse and harmony is made! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I just love the way you write, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Do you have a pack after your back? My guess is political jackals triggered this one. Interesting write! |

Hi Nance! Lovely to see the Enchantress of the Night here. I didn't mean to be so frightening, honest I didn't, but power-pieces seem to just appear on my Microsoft Word screen. I couldn't stop 'em if I tried. Bigger huggs back at ya, Nancy. Hope you had a great holler-day last weekend. Dulcy, my Sweet Baby: That's the idea, of course, is to find some way to 'mass defang' the whole bloomin' lot of 'em! Where is the bite of a wild dog when the teeth are absent? I mean really: surely they can't GUM me to death. hmmmmm now that's kind of sensual, in a demented sort of way. . . |

Maaaaashaaaaa Maaaaashaaaaa, that is not a sunset you see in BritainWorld. That is the effervescence of my blush seen half a world away!! Coupled with this suntan/burn from too many hours in the sun, I look like a rock lobster with a sheet-eating-grin SEG Hey, I hope you are feeling better. Got all worried about ya last week. By the way, that was one of the nicest replies I think I have ever received. Thank you sweet gal! Give my regards to Krissy, and keep sharing your smile! You are contagious, do you know that? Sey: Hey Guy! A special treat to know I am read by the likes of a good poet like you. Not exactly the kind of kiss me kate poem today, I will have to admit. I think you see the lines between the lines, here, tho…..*smile and apologies for not being around more. I can't even begin to tell you all how busy these past 2 weeks have been. hey hey hey *smile* |

Martie: how's one of my very favor-ite poetesses?? You and I share an obscure gift of imagery, so I will tell you what prompted this. Remember the movie, Cat People? I don't know why, but that song by David Bowie, Cat People, left this picture of cats circling. Then, I thought of how people in real life, Cat People in their own right, prey in groups on single people, until their weaknesses are pointed out, singularly. Hence, the line about surviving when they cry. L*rd knows, we have been pursued by enough jackals in the world, huh? But there is a way to beat them…..*wink* Thanks Martie-Gal! You always make me think with your poetry. I greatly enjoy reading your work! Noah old buddy: How have you been? Okay, I trust . . . You have an interesting take: how we teach the vicious to embrace the gracious part in each of us, giving the Big Cat even more power than they had: the power of BOTH strength, and grace. That is Supppppper cool. Your perspectives have poetic qualities all their own, Noah! Verrry cool! Jwesley, The Main Dude: It is an honor to reply to your reply. As I said earlier, this is kind of a 'guy' poem in its predatory nature, but I think all of us can relate to having been chewed on by a pack of wild laughing jackals as our weaknesses were preyed upon. Thankx, Man! Very much! jeff |

MidniteSun(Shine) 6 months long: Dang!!!!! There is just no fooling you, is there? smiling big How are you KC? Actually, for about the 6th time in about 10th year, the layoffs at my company are beginning again. Crime-anetly! I have managed to survive them, somehow, although it was close a couple of times! Hey, I am here hit or miss. Please send me your thinking poems thru email if I miss them here, ok? The ones you like? I would greatly appreciate it! Be well, and take care. Hi Sunshine! I could use a bit of it, this late in the evening. There is a way to make a jackal or hyena cry: you separate them from the pack, take them head-on, and they lose their power! I like the way you think, Sunshine! Thankx for chipping in! Appreciated greatly! Yeppers! jeff |
