If promise understood the spoken word Would it ignore the roar of devotion's cheers or disregard the sight of despondent tears Better ... it bond the hearts than falsify a token pledge ~ Its grasp might quell an offensive urge and thus defend the heart from tormentor's dirge chastising ... the inconsiderate tongue that swells them ~ Keywords mistyped in letters dear where finger strokes with angry thoughts combine Till sadly ... one flawed phrase may inclement and forever storm the mind ~ If promise could interlace with beating hearts Perhaps tears could find defense from poison darts |

You're HOME! And when I saw your name in a response, I hoped and hoped and hoped that I would also see a poem... A belated Merry Christmas, my friend... I don't know what inspired this poem, but I do understand about promises, keyboards, and all.  Merry Christmas, Rex! |

Merry Christmas to you too Karilea ... I have started to write a little again this past while and I hope to be back to stay.  Mostly reading and commenting for the time being ... but I do have a few pieces I've not posted yet |

Ah yes. The false pledges, words mis(?)typed in anger and trying to defend the slings and arrows (sorry William) with tears. Liked the seething exploration of this one. . . . and the raven said, )!(%!~@~#&$ . . . |

May I say that this is a high quality poem? Depth of thought most powerfully expressed indeed. The end of the year is a good moment to reflect upon the value of promises. Love, Margherita |

It has always been set in my mind, that a broken promise is a lie. Liked your poem. Am glad to see you writting again. latearrival |

I'm so liking this. Every word kept hitting home no matter how much I tried dodging them. Great writing, Mr. McCoy~ |

Lori ... the number of people who could dodge these lines would be very few ... just some Used Car Salesmen and Politicians I assume. thanks for reading |
