Re: Irish Blessing
There's still some time for a breath. Other than the arms manufacturers, nobody wants war. Will saner heads prevail? China would naturally ally itself with Russia - both nations have been subjected to US control and subjugation - we take their cheap labor and resources, and then are pissed that th...

Re: Presque vu
13,000 War can be a seriously complex endeavour. Especially for those poor bastards who didn't know why they were there. Your poem reflects the Russian fear of NATO being too close to its borders, or the alleged fear, the excuse to invade.... Russia and China playing games; how far can they push th...

Re: Presque vu
Thanks Linda. That deployment was seemingly a test run of the Eisenhower Doctrine. Thanks for looking, Dave. I guess it depends on how much emphasis is placed on the S sound when spoken. Perhaps it is a silent sibilant in some pronunciations. History trivia question for you to research: How many ...

Perfect, Linda. A very nice and topical write.

Re: spires
Hello Dave - I'm not a good at critiquing poetry or writings in general, but I do know what I like, what resonates. I find that I like the more simple and uncomplicated, the less clever with fewer words. My personal taste, at least for today............. I prefer "Other version" for the reasons I...

Re: Book just published
Hi Jackie !!! I'm actually still a bit stunned that I actually put a book together and published it. It would not have happened without my brother Marcel's encouragement and nagging. It may very well be that when a theme for a book is chosen and some poems are written that it all acts like fuel to...

Re: Book just published
Linda - I hope you enjoy the book. And you make a very good point about putting your money where your mouth is.
Be well, and never stop writing.

Re: Book just published
I had not wanted or expected anyone to buy my book. I was just sort off bragging that even I can get a book (self) published. I should have been more explicit and said if anyone is interested I will happily mail them a copy. Hey Janet - I hope you like the book. You might move it a shelf or tw...

Re: Book just published
Dan - that's a shame - so sorry. I will get back to them (Amazon / Kindle) to see what else I or they might be able to do to let you read it on your Kindle. So, what is the model/version of Kindle that you have? Maybe the Kindle folk having that info could better assist, whether from their end or ...
