The first though is interesting. As usual I was to me-ise it (can’t leave a good poem alone) but when I think about why I want to do this it’s less of a criticism of the poet and more of a desire to make the piece my own and I wouldn’t want to do that if there wasn’t something there that moved me. This one intrigues me. I’ve read it over several times. <br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-59480458860366600852013-02-20T14:17:50.546+00:002013-02-20T14:17:50.546+00:002 for the price of one click - what economy. 2 for the price of one click - what economy.

We are indeed Her guardians. Hopefully, we can act on Her behalf before time does finally run out.<br /><br />And I hope that someday there will be "A Time" for the end of all cruelty and suffering. I found this one so so moving.Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.com
