you have done an excellent job on this one...that opener is enough to put everyone's thinking cap on and begin the quest of searching for nuggets. It is an effective way to write about that which has affected all who lived through it. thank you. |

Okay. Hmmm. I'm gonna go there. 'Cause um, as a resident, I have seen both fairy tales and fairy tails here in New Orleans, and our ogres become heroes become ogre again. It's downright Hobbitual.  So I wouldn't mind an explanation on this'n, Lee, if you might indulge me a bit? I still got glitter in my eyes from the party. (And no, I didn't go, but I sent forth trolls to bring home treasures.) gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (I gotta PINK boa!  ) |

Poem Interpretation for Karen by a grassy knoll (where the Presidential Train rounded & Kennedy was shot) Camelot came silent (Jim Garrison, Former District Attorney of New Orleans) & strong in New Orleans like a think tank knight while the inlet of swine's (Bay Of Pigs) failed their space wallops (air strikes) Warren got his way (The Warren Commission) behind a fairy tail named by a master writer of plays (Oliver Stone) "tramps" the actors of injustice (political tramps) impersonal press leaving ripples behind of a lone hired gun (Oswald) framed by a fairy tale (told by L. Fletcher Prouty, a CIA Agent who claimed to have belonged to OpX and highly secretive agency, who in fact assassinated people) all written before (planned ahead) by a stamp shakin it's head (Warren Documents Sealed against public examination) while a VP screams (Johnson) like a hoover vacuum (J. Edgar Hoover) where "they" bombarding me?

According to Garrison, Shaw was the secretive Clay Bertrand of the Warren Commission, which was the investigation of the assassination. Jim Garrison tried to prove the Warren Commission was altered. It concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted all by himself in the killing of Kennedy. Adding, the Warren Commission's findings have been awfully controversial and has repeatedly been challenged. There were so many unanswered details and still are. Fact The Reality Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, who left Dallas only a few hours before President Kennedy was shot to death on a city street, had made a prophetic plea for the chief executive's safety? Jim Garrison became so obsessed with proving Kennedy was assassinated by our own people that he lost his wife, career, credibility…was discharged from the military…he was also evaluated as being mentally incompetent and it was said, his theories changed again and again. He was totally discredited. When Jim Garrison died, Quote by Jim Garrison "Fascism will come to America in the guise of National Security" |

WHOA! This is ultra powerful. It was powerful before I read your explanation, but afterward, BAM! It sure makes one think-especially the last quote... You are such a brilliant writer! I enjoy reading your poetry. Thanks for the explanation, too. I often wonder how close I am to understanding. This time, I was on the right track, but you had several phrases that I knew were meaningful, of which I had no clue. Thanks for the info. miscellanea |

"the day our dreams lost their lives the day JFK died" I remember the day well, and the circumstances leading up to the event, and the events that followed. JFK said in one of his speeches that there was an under-current in this country to compromise our freedoms and our solidarity as a people. [I'm paraphrasing]. It has taken a long time, but it's here. Great write Lee J. JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. ~Jesus Christ |

Yep. That's what I thought.  No, seriously, I don't know if it still exists, but that spot was once part of a walking tour in here in New Orleans. (You know, where they point out that particular corner, where coincidentally or not, all those places were within pointing range.) Oliver Stone is a controversy unto himself, too. I'm not sure how I feel about that stuff--he also took some artistic liscence with Jim Morrison's story too, and he tells a story so well it's quite easy to forget it isn't all necessarily fact. But I remain a fan of his, and ever a fan of YOURS, dear lady. and neat that you did that line for line for me--thanks so much for taking the time! I love ya bunches, gorgeous!  |

A masterful write. Stone used his Hollywood license in the making of that movie, but it was interesting, wasn't it? Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
