 Proclamation by Linda L. Dowd I be not bold knight wearing strong suit of armour. ~ Deflecting assails of sword, arrow and dart. I am a fair maiden with skin ~ soft and supple, ~ And the vilest of words pierce right thru’ to the heart. ~ * ~ I wore not a mask that could shield me from onslaughts. My face was exposed and considered fair game. Whene’er I resisted ~ those assaults knocked me over, ~ But now I am standing and my rights I proclaim! . |

Goddess ~ Hello, MicheleRose. One of the reasons that I haven't posted any new poems with audio is because the web host that I use is going through a transformation at the present time and I am unable to post new audio poems at pip. That is why you may see the occacsional repost of a poem with audio. I'll probably be posting them again in October. Thank you for your warm response to my poem!  Linda |

Encore! I am woman hear me roar, despite a fight with vile sword! Linda, do you do some of the artwork included with your poetry? I notice you give credit to many artists? How do I know if it is your artwork I view? Can I possibly express how I adore you and your poetry? Be well, my friend, hugs! ~miscellanea |

Garapan ~ What you say is very true. A willow is graceful and sways with the wind, but its roots are one of the strongest forces in nature. One daresn't build a house too close to one! Their roots can push right through the foundation of it!  Who woulda thunk it?!?Thank you for your response! Have a great day! Linda |

Misce' ~ Yes, "Encore" to that inspiring refrain!!! "I am woman! Hear me roar!". Helen Reddy's song still plays in my head whenever I need some added strength and courage! Most of the graphics that I use to accompany my poems are by other artists. When their names are available, I state them. If I am the artist, I give myself the credit! lol Mind you, there has been the odd occasion when I have neglected to do so, but the predonerance of artwork is by other artists. I am in absolute awe of some of them!!! By the way, the adoration of which you speak is a two-way street! Love you! Linda |

(smiles) Yep, you doesn't even need to make a rebel yell fist-pump motion with her wrist, as your will alone makes the best coupled constructive offense and defense! (gives rock on sign) I proclaim this poem a true keeper, dearest Linda, yay! Now keep spreading the word all across the Empyrean ether!
