Hi, thanks for visiting. Good to have yo...<b>Anonymous</b><br />Hi, thanks for visiting. Good to have your company. No, the blog is standard issue one of a goodly range from whicn to choose -- if you sign on with Blogger.com.<br /><br /><b>Sabio </b><br />Interesting comment. Thanks for it. I did feel something of this for myself, but didn't have time for a rewrite. Yourfinal sentence is also most intriguing. All-in-all, a stimulating response. Thanks very much for.<br /><br /><b>Kelvin </b><br />Yes, indeed, it IS all happening. That was in part meant to be the point of it.<br /><br /><b>Manicddaily </b><br />And my thanks to you for more kind words.<br /><br /><b>Wolfsrosebud </b><br />Yes, that certainly is the case. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Yes, it's true, I'm sure. However much we complicate the situation, adding new possible scenarios, I think nothing takes away from the eventual triumph of nature. Like truth it will out. Maybe because it IS truth.<br /><br /><b>haricot </b><br />Yes, it must be so much more real for you. You really have been in the front line.<br /><br /><b>Hank </b><br />Good point, well made. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>anthonynorth </b><br />Thanks for this.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso </b><br />Thanks. I actually like <i>sober rage </i>!<br /><br /><b>Gerry </b><br />Much thanks for this. The metaphor came withou thought and apropos of nothing. It was what kick started the poem.<br /><br /><b>Grace </b><br />Thank you Grace. Much appreciated comment.<br /><br /><b>The Elephant's Child </b><br />Not such a minor quibble. Didn't mean to involve poor puss! Thanks for pointing it out. I too would love to be proved wrong.<br /><br /><b>Ygraine </b><br />Yes, I can almost understand past generations who didn't understand what they were doing and thought themselves God-like. But that it's still taking place in the face of mounting evidence... that's hard to explain.<br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-8239689095363618982013-03-21T10:59:44.785+00:002013-03-21T10:59:44.785+00:00Very chilling depiction of the apocalypse...the de...Very chilling depiction of the apocalypse...the death rattle of life on Earth...precipitated, of course, by man's thoughtless decapitation of the Forests.<br /><br />Very deep and disturbing, yet so compelling.<br />I am afraid...Ygrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-27222463245393232562013-03-21T05:27:43.280+00:002013-03-21T05:27:43.280+00:00A very minor quibble.
