I don't know if I even did this correct, but thought I could do two challenges at once. Hope its meaningful. Child Abuse Child crying, caveat carnality Habituated hurting, Hushed Idle Inaction, Ignominious illusion Lamb lost, Love lethargic lifeless Darlings Damned, defiled defenseless Abuse allowance, adulterated act Beloved betrayal, Bane bearable blemish Unfeeling unclean, unvoiced ululation unending Scarred silhouette, stolen sweetness suicidal Emotional eidolon ejected, Elan elation embark James Parker Haley April 19, 2000 [This message has been edited by Haleyja (edited 04-19-2000).] |

very meaninful and perfect Parker... your compassionate heart is showing, (again) *smile*... great job on both challeges...my, you are most inspired of late...and always for a good cause... take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

A beautiful and touching piece. Good work! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

WOW! James, is a wonderful 2 in 1 poem. It takes great poetic talent to make this flow so easily and still have a very strong meaning. One of your best. You know how much this cause means to me, so thank you for contributing your talents to it. When we stand together, we are strong. Thank you.

Marina, thank you again, and for the challenge, but I don't recommend doing the Acrostic Alliteration stuff, nightmare time, when I started, I was thinking of being a real smart-ass and doing it in a strict Haiku format... that idea soon got tossed out the window after the first line. netswan, thank you, if it wasn't for the child abuse challenge I would have given up on the alliteration stuff, too much work. Butterflies, your always too kind in your comments to me. thank you again. Parker |
