ANOTHER POEM I PENNED DAY AFTER 9/11

Our fighting spirit won us our freedom years ago And WE SHALL STAND forever, despite this glancing blow! Freedom was attacked in a most cowardly way. They never saw the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Catholic church sponsored some sort of husband/wife retreat and the theme of this retreat is "True Acts". I was asked to write a poem along those lines for a lady that was going to one of the retreats. It is as relevant to us all as it is to them! TRUE ACTS ADORATION is much more than simply how...

About this Blog

I have written poetry of one sort or another for over 30 years. Now in the mid of my life, I have gotten secure enough in it's quality and other's have sufficiently reinforced it's desirability, I have decided to do something with it. Many of the enterings here are in contests and we'll see how they do. Also, I will have a blog of Haiku, which is Japanese poetry of strict adherence to form and style. My third blog will be for military poetry, which has recently been subjected to public scrutiny, illiciting most powerful emotions. So I offer all to you to enjoy!
